• Dual-energy CT (DECT) virtual non-calcium (VNCa) reconstructions are highly accurate in depicting bone marrow edema of the femur and tibia. • Diagnostic confidence, image noise, and image quality were rated as equivalent in VNCa reconstructions and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) series. • VNCa images may serve as an alternative imaging approach to MRI.
