Abstract:
Two noninvasive methods for measuring bone mineral density are compared (DE-QCT; DEXA). Accuracy was determined by ash weight and real bone density. 40 human cadaver spines (D5, D11, L3, L5) were examined. There was significant high correlation between DE-QCT and real bone density (r = 0.9, alpha < or = 0.001) and only small correlation with -DEKA (r = 0.5, alpha > or = 0.05) in the cases with osteoporotic and none osteoporotic vertebra. DE-QCT seems to be a valuable method for measuring central bone mineral density.
