Abstract
Dual-energy virtual noncalcium images are increasingly used to identify marrow edema which accompanies bony pelvic injuries and marrow pathology obscured by cancellous bone. We present a clinical perspective of our experience using virtual noncalcium images in the work up of pelvic osseous pathology.
Keywords:
Dual-energy CT; Hip fractures; Pelvic fractures.
