Reply to Maffulli, N.; Spiezia, F. Comment on "Foti et al. Identification of Achille's Tendon Tears: Diagnostic Accuracy of Dual-Energy CT with Respect to MRI. J. Clin. Med. 2024, 13 , 4426".

The article is a response to comments on a study about identifying Achilles tendon tears using Dual-Energy CT (DECT) compared to MRI. The author acknowledges the importance of clinical examination, ultrasound, and MRI in assessing Achilles tendon pathology but highlights the potential of DECT as a new tool for evaluating tendon tears. The author argues that DECT scanners are widely available in Western countries, cost-effective, faster, and offer advantages over MRI in terms of bone evaluation and artifact reduction. DECT technology shows promise in diagnosing various lower limb conditions, making it a valuable option for patients who may not have access to MRI or cannot be managed with ultrasound alone.
