Prediction of osteoporosis and osteopenia by routine computed tomography of the lumbar spine in different regions of interest

Abstract Background We aimed to investigate the utility of Hounsfield units (HU) obtained from different regions of interest in opportunistic lumbar computed tomography (CT) to predict osteoporosis coupling with data of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Methods A total of 100 patients who atte...
