Energy level of the VMIs during DE-CT for the best wrist tendon delineation was 140 keV. This value of 140 keV for the DE-CT was significantly higher than the CT number and CNR for the extensor pollicis, extensor digitorum, and flexor tendon compared with a VMI image of conventional equivalent to 120 kVp.
