Combinations of two imaging parameters to improve bone mineral density (BMD) assessment in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases

Abstract Purpose To explore whether combining the Hounsfield unit (HU) values and vertebral bone quality (VBQ) scores can improve the BMD assessment in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases. Methods The HU values were measured by CT image, and VBQ scores were calculated by lumbar MRI image. The...
