Dual-energy CT with processing for edema can successfully identify nondisplaced femoral neck fractures in MRI-contraindicated patients. This imaging modality could be useful for diagnosing femoral neck stress fractures and ipsilateral femoral neck fractures in patients sustaining high-energy femoral shaft fractures.
