Quantitative CT screening improved lumbar BMD evaluation in older patients compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry

Abstract Background Robust evidence on whether diagnostic discordance exists between lumbar osteoporosis detected by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) vs. dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is still lacking. In this study involving a relatively large prospective cohort of older men (aged &g...
