• Virtual non-calcium images calculated from dual-energy CT can detect sacroiliac bone marrow edema in patients suspected for sacroiliitis. • Dual-energy CT has a high specificity in bone marrow edema detection. • Virtual non-calcium images for bone marrow edema in patients with a large amount of red bone marrow or obvious sclerosis near the articular surface should be interpreted with caution.
