The development of computed tomography (CT) for diagnostic imaging provides a
potentially new modality for quantitative assessment of skeletal mineral. Bone mineral …

Osteoporosis is a major medical, social, and economic problem. Osteoporosis and low bone
mass affect an estimated 44 million Americans (National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2008) …

One of the major uses of quantitative computed tomography (CT) has been the
measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) at various skeletal sites. The published …

A method for the computed tomographic measurement of bone calcium in the cortex of the
femur or tibia is described. A calibration standard is scanned concurrently with the bones …

An investigation into the feasibility of using X-ray computed tomography (CT) to measure
disease induced changes in bone mineral content of the human spine is described. A …

The authors examined sources of error in bone measurements made with computed
tomography (CT) using a whole-body scanner (GE 8800) and a peripheral-bone CT scanner …

Computed tomography (CT) is well accepted as an imaging procedure, but comparatively
little effort has been made to utilize the potential capability of CT to quantify tissue densities …

Computed tomography (CT) has been widely investigated and applied in recent years as a
means for noninvasive quantitative bone mineral determination. The usefulness of …

In CT densitometry the precision, sensitivity and accuracy of the procedure are limited by
photon noise, the degree of tissue differentiation and artefacts caused by the finite size of the …

The recent article by Grampp et al.(1) comes to the conclusion that quantitative computer
tomography (QCT) is the most accurate method of measuring bone mineral density. QCT …
