CT imaging is the gold standard for assessing bone dysmorphism and vertebral morphometry during the pre-surgical planning of vertebral arthrodesis. It is necessary in the definition of the fixation points to avoid malposition of transpedicular screws and potential visceral, vascular or neurological damage.~It is known that multislice CT involves an increased radiation exposure for patients, while dual-energy CT uses a low-dose acquisition protocol and VEO reconstruction software.~The aim of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of low-dose dual energy CT in the pre-surgical planning of patients with progression of scoliosis who are candidated for vertebral arthrodesis.
