    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Bone Densitometry
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Quantitative CT (qCT) is a valuable tool for bone mass assessment.
    • Trabecular bone evaluation is crucial for understanding bone health and fracture risk.
    • Existing qCT methods may require specialized equipment or software.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a modified spinal CT method for quantitative trabecular bone assessment.
    • To demonstrate the applicability of this method on standard CT scanners without additional hardware or software.
    • To validate the precision, accuracy, and clinical utility of the developed technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a modified quantitative CT protocol for spinal imaging.
    • Utilizing standard third or fourth generation whole-body CT scanners.
