Table 2 Comparison of DECT-FF and MRI-FF in the evaluation of OP and osteopenia (n = 83)

From: Accuracy and applicability of dual-energy computed tomography in quantifying vertebral bone marrow adipose tissue compared with magnetic resonance imaging

		Threshold	Sensitivity	Specificity	AUC (95%CI)	Z	p
OP	DECT-FF	51.3	96.97	57.00	0.791 (0.688–0.872)	0.503	0.615
	MRI-FF	53.34	93.94	62.00	0.807 (0.706–0.886)
Osteopenia	DECT-FF	46.48	85.71	59.55	0.710 (0.565–0.830)	0.066	0.948
	MRI-FF	48.2	85.71	64.09	0.708 (0.562–0.828)
