This study aims to emphasize the need for precise evaluation of spinal osteoporosis in elderly women. The authors found quantitative computed tomography (Q-CT) to be more accurate than dual-X-ray absorptiometry in a comparative study performed on a large series of patients and hence recommend Q-CT to be considered the gold-standard for screening spinal osteoporosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
