Quantitative CT of vertebral trabecular bone is established as a useful technique for assessing bone mass. We have developed a modified method of spinal CT which can be used on any standard third or fourth generation whole body scanner without requiring extra software or hardware. Measurements have a high precision and accuracy, with acceptable cost and radiation exposure. We have shown that our results compare favourably with those from other centres. The sensitivity of the measurements encourages the widespread clinical application of this technique.
定量CT检测椎体小梁骨已成为评估骨量的一项有用技术。我们开发了一种改良的脊柱CT方法，可用于任何标准的第三代或第四代全身扫描仪，无需额外的软件或硬件。测量具有高精度和准确性，成本和辐射暴露可接受。我们已表明，我们的结果与其他中心的结果相比具有优势。这些测量的敏感性促使该技术在临床上广泛应用。
