Purpose: To evaluate the role of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in the management of vertebral compression fractures in clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective IRB-approved study included 497 consecutive patients with suspected acute vertebral fractures, imaged either by DECT (group 1) or MRI (group 2) before vertebroplasty. The site, number and type of fractures at imaging findings, and clinical outcome based on any change in pain (DELTA-VAS), before (VAS-pre) and after treatment (VAS-post), were determined and compared.
