In their recently published article, “ The Role of a Virtual Noncalcium Dual-Energy CT Application in the Detection of Bone Marrow Edema in Peripheral Osteomyelitis, ” Yan et al explore the diagnostic performance of dual-energy CT (DECT) with virtual noncalcium analysis in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis in several joint districts. According to their results, the additional evaluation of virtual noncalcium images with bone and soft tissue reconstructions provided increased sensitivity and speci fi city for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis. 1 present study is the pilot studies on the application of the diagnosis representing an original and important contribution to understanding the actual potential of this novel CT technique in the fi eld of musculoskeletal radiology.
