Prediction of osteoporosis from proximal femoral cortical bone thickness and Hounsfield unit value with clinical significance

Prediction of osteoporosis from proximal femoral cortical bone thickness and Hounsfield unit value with clinical significance

BackgroundUtilizing dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess bone mineral density (BMD) was not routine in many clinical scenarios, leading to missed diagnoses of osteoporosis. The objective of this study is to obtain effective parameters from hip computer tomography (CT) to screen patients...
