Automatic phantom-less QCT system with high precision of BMD measurement for osteoporosis screening: Technique optimisation and clinical validation

Background: Currently dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and phantom-based quantitative computed tomography (PB-QCT) have been utilized to diagnose osteoporosis widely in clinical practice. While traditional phantom-less QCT (PL-QCT) is limited by the precision of manual calibration using body t...
