Quantitative computed tomography and opportunistic bone density screening by dual use of computed tomography scans

Central dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine and proximal femur is the preferred method for bone mineral density (BMD) testing. Despite the fracture risk statistics, osteoporosis testing with DXA remains underused. However, BMD can also be assessed with quantitative computed to...
