Comparison between the MDCT and the DXA scanners in the evaluation of BMD in the lumbar spine densit
Purpose: To determine the bone mineral density of lumbar spine vertebrae by generating computerized tomography (CT) densitometric data based on the Hounsfield units (HU) from abdominal and lumbar spine CT examinations. Material and methods: All the CT examinations were performed with a 16-slice CT s...
