The challenge of early and rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains important. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) iodine maps for diagnosing PJI in total hip arthroplasty. We prospectively enrolled 68 patients who had postoperativ...
