• Overall, DECT is useful for the detection of BME (sensitivity, 85%; specificity-97%). • Qualitative assessment (sensitivity-85%; specificity-97%) is more accurate than quantitative assessment (sensitivity-84%; specificity-88%). • DECT showed excellent diagnostic performance for both the spine/appendicular skeleton (sensitivity-84%/84%; specificity-98%/93%).
