• Dual-energy CT in a single-source technique can help to detect bone marrow oedema in patients with vertebral compression fractures. • However, given the inferior inter-rater reliability and limited specificity compared to MRI, experienced readers are needed for image interpretation. • Dual-energy CT of the spine has limited sensitivity for the detection of bone marrow oedema in vertebra with previous surgical intervention.
