In Vivo Bone Mineral Density Assessment With Spectral Localizer Radiographs From Photon-Counting Detector CT
Our prospective patient study indicates that spectral localizer radiographs obtained with a clinical PCD-CT system enable accurate quantification of the lumbar bone areal mineral density. This opens up the opportunity for opportunistic screening of osteoporosis in patients who undergo CT for other indications.
