Calibration with or without phantom for fracture risk prediction in cancer patients with femoral bone metastases using CT-based finite element models

The objective of this study was to develop a new calibration method that enables calibration of Hounsfield units (HU) to bone mineral densities (BMD) without the use of a calibration phantom for fracture risk prediction of femurs with metastases using CT-based finite element (FE) models. Fifty-seven...
