Thoracic vertebral bone mineral density measured by quantitative computed tomography is associated with fracture risk in lung cancer screening populations: a prospective cohort study
QCT-based TBMD derived from LDCT scans might be a feasible and effective tool for identifying individuals with VFs and an elevated risk of incident fracture, without additional radiation exposure in lung cancer screening populations.
