Predictive Value of Native Computed Tomography in Low Energy Vertebra Fracture Risk Assessment

Abstract

http://spine.imedpub.com/spine.imedpub.com/ (CT) can be used to accurately determine bone density in Hounsfield units (HU), the use of CT as a predictive tool has not been conclusively demonstrated in relation to low energy vertebra compression fracture (VCF). The aim of this study was to define the CT parameters that could be used to predict the risk of VCF.
