For a sidebar on how this story came together, click here. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has long been the gold standard for osteoporosis screening. But now, thousands of patients may be ...

This is a sidebar to an investigation on the growing use of QCT to screen for osteoporosis. Which test should the doctor and patient believe? This journalist can corroborate concerns about the ...

Overview of the proposed method. The training dataset consists of real X-ray images, quantitative CT (QCT) images, and the BMD measurements of 315 patients. The bone region in QCT was extracted and ...

Investigators used 3-dimensional quantitative computed tomography to more accurately assess patients’ bone mineral density. Low bone mineral density (BMD) appears to be common among children with ...

Bone mineral density (BMD) assessment remains fundamental in diagnosing osteoporosis, a condition that predisposes individuals to fragility fractures. Advances in imaging, from dual‐energy X‐ray ...

The use of high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) to assess bone microarchitecture in clinical studies has continued to grow rapidly. Thus, there is an urgent need for ...
