Multidetector Computed Tomography in Patients with Femoral Neck Fracture for Assessing Osteoporosis: Comparison with Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry

Multidetector Computed Tomography in Patients with Femoral Neck Fracture for Assessing Osteoporosis: Comparison with Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry

Purpose To evaluate the ability of the Hounsfield unit (HU) measurement of the femoral neck during multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for assessing osteoporosis compared with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Materials and Methods Forty-two patients with femoral neck fractures who und...
