Quantitative determination of bone mineral content has become important for the early diagnosis of osteoporosis prior to radiological evidence of vertebral deformities. Quantitative CT (QCT, computer tomometry), whether the single-energy (SE-QCT) or the dual-energy (DE-QCT) technique is used, yields volume-related values that can be used for accurate and reproducible assessment of spongious and cortical vertebral bone mineral. QCT seems to be superior to photon absorptiometry for early detection and follow-up of osteoporosis.
在出现椎体畸形的放射学证据之前，骨矿物质含量的定量测定对于骨质疏松症的早期诊断已变得至关重要。定量CT（QCT，计算机断层扫描），无论使用单能（SE-QCT）还是双能（DE-QCT）技术，都能得出与体积相关的值，这些值可用于准确且可重复地评估松质骨和皮质骨的椎体骨矿物质。对于骨质疏松症的早期检测和随访，QCT似乎优于光子吸收测定法。
