Quantitative computed tomography for bone mineral density
Record ID 32011000908
English
Authors' objectives:
Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is an imaging technique that can be used to measure bone mineral density (BMD). QCT scanners create three-dimensional (3D) images that enable volumetric evaluation of bone mineral content and permit separate assessment of trabecular and cortical bone density. Since trabecular bone may be more sensitive to metabolic changes than cortical bone; QCT may offer some advantages over other BMD measurement techniques for detecting metabolic disease and assessing bone health.
