Computed tomography derived bone density measurement in the diabetic foot
BACKGROUND The accurate and reliable measurement of foot bone density is challenging and there is currently no gold standard technique. Such measurement is particularly valuable in populations at risk of foot bone pathology such as in those with long term diabetes. With research and development, computed tomography may prove to be a useful tool for this assessment. The aim of this study was to ...
متن کاملBone Density Measurement Using Computed Tomography
Osteoporosis is a major medical, social, and economic problem. Osteoporosis and low bone mass affect an estimated 44 million Americans (National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2008). The lifetime risk of hip, spine, or forearm fractures is estimated to be 40% in white women and 13% in white men above 50 years of age. Considerable attention is therefore focused on assessing bone mass and the ability t...

متن کاملLimitations of peripheral quantitative computed tomography metaphyseal bone density measurements.
CONTEXT Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) measurements are frequently obtained to assess cancellous bone density in the appendicular skeleton. Large variations in bone morphology associated with skeletal development may limit the interpretation of pediatric pQCT studies based on a single slice. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to characterize the variability in trabec...
متن کاملCan Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography Assess Bone Mineral Density?
Mineral density distribution of bone tissue is altered by active bone modeling and remodeling due to bone complications including bone disease and implantation surgery. Clinical cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been examined whether it can assess oral bone mineral density (BMD) in patient. It has been indicated that CBCT has disadvantages of higher noise and lower contrast than conventi...
