Description

Highlights: • Absolute quantification of bone marrow in the wrist is possible with Dual-Energy CT. • Material decomposition parameters for VNCa images should be adjusted. • Sex, age and calcium values have a clinically negligible effect on VNCa values. Purpose of this study was to investigate Dual-energy CT (DECT) derived virtual non-calcium (VNCa) values for absolute quantification of the bone marrow composition in the wrist.
