    ACL rupture is a prevalent knee injury often requiring surgical reconstruction to restore stability and prevent secondary injuries.

  • 2

    MRI is the gold standard for diagnosing ACL injuries but has limitations in acute trauma and certain patient populations.

  • 3

    Dual-energy CT (DECT) offers a promising alternative to MRI, providing improved differentiation of soft tissues and reduced imaging artifacts.

  • 4

    The study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of DECT for ACL rupture, hypothesizing it to be comparable to MRI.

  • 5

    DECT imaging demonstrated valid and reliable diagnostic performance for ACL injuries, supporting its clinical application.
