Abstract

Introduction: Quantitative CT (QCT) bone mineral density (BMD) assessment is an important technique to predict osteoporosis and fragility fracture. High radiation dose with current QCT remains a major challenge. Following the MDCT technology revolution, the radiation dose has been lowered. We aimed to estimate feasibility in measuring vertebral trabecular BMD using a thoracic CT scan with a sub-millisievert (mSv) radiation dose protocol of QCT.
