Bone densitometry of the axial skeleton
Orthop Clin North Am.
1990 Jan.
Abstract
The role of bone densitometry used as a diagnostic tool is discussed as well as its role in monitoring both the disease process itself and therapy. The QCT method and the DPA/DEXA method are discussed separately, including their regions of interest, calibration, radiation dose, diagnostic sensitivity, precision, and the monitoring and accuracy of changes, and then these two methods are compared with each other.
