• Dual-energy computed tomography allows vertebral disk injuries to be detected in elderly patients with vertebral fractures. • Dual-energy computed tomography yields more diagnostic information about vertebral disks compared to conventional CT. • Dual-energy computed tomography can be used as an alternative imaging modality for patients unwilling or unable to undergo MRI.
