Decubitus photon-counting detector CT myelography has an excellent diagnostic performance for the detection of CSF-venous fistulas. The yield for patients with intermediate- and high-probability Bern scores is at least as high as previously reported yields of decubitus digital subtraction myelography and CT myelography using energy-integrating detector scanners. The yield for patients with low-probability Bern scores appears to be greater compared with other modalities. Due to the retrospective nature of this study, future prospective work will be needed to compare the sensitivity of photon-counting detector CT myelography with other modalities.
