Significance of Thoracic Vertebral Bone Marrow CT Value Detection in the Diagnosis of Senile Osteoporosis and Assessment of Companion Thoracic Vertebral Fracture Risk

CT values of thoracic vertebral trabecular bone are closely associated with senile osteoporosis and hold significant diagnostic value for both osteoporosis and fracture risk assessment. A CT value < 85.3 HU may serve as a diagnostic threshold for osteoporosis, while a CT value < 54.0 HU indicates an increased risk of thoracic vertebral fractures.
