What Causes the Discrepancy between Quantitative Computed Tomography and Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry?

Abstract: Objective: Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a standard tool for measuring the bone mineral density (BMD), but it sometimes provides inaccurate results. In contrast, quantitative computed tomography (QCT) measures the BMD more accurately by directly measuring the trabecular bone. This study examined the factors that cause the discrepancy between DXA and QCT with advanced spinal imaging.Methods: The medical records of 59 patients who underwent DXA, QCT, and a lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI… Show more
