Bone 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 کاملExperimental assessment of bone mineral density using quantitative computed tomography in holstein dairy cows
The aim of this study was to assess the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) by quantitative computed tomography (QCT), comparing the relationships of BMD between QCT and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and between QCT and radiographic absorptiometry (RA) in the metacarpal bone of Holstein dairy cows (n=27). A significant positive correlation was found between QCT and DXA measuremen...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of bone mineral density in Thoroughbreds using quantitative computed tomography
Bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the indications of the strength and health. BMD measured by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) was compared with that measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and radiographic bone aluminum equivalence (RBAE). Limbs were removed from horses that had been euthanized for reasons not associated with this study. Sixteen limbs (left and right metaca...
متن کاملBone-composition imaging using coherent-scatter computed tomography: assessing bone health beyond bone mineral density.
Quantitative analysis of bone composition is necessary for the accurate diagnosis and monitoring of metabolic bone diseases. Accurate assessment of the bone mineralization state is the first requirement for a comprehensive analysis. In diagnostic imaging, x-ray coherent scatter depends upon the molecular structure of tissues. Coherent-scatter computed tomography (CSCT) exploits this feature to ...
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...
