• Twenty studies evaluating 790 patients for bone marrow edema in the appendicular skeleton with dual-energy CT were included in analysis. • The summary sensitivity, specificity, and AUC values for detecting bone marrow in the appendicular skeleton were 86% (95% confidence interval [CI] 82-89%), 93% (95% CI 90-95%), and 0.95, respectively. • In scenarios where MRI availability is limited or is contraindicated, DECT could be an alternative to MRI for detecting bone marrow edema in the appendicular skeleton.
