Discrimination of vertebral fragility fracture with lumbar spine bone mineral density measured by quantitative computed tomography

ConclusionThis study suggests that BMD is closely related to vertebral fragility fracture and that QCT is an effective technique to accurately discriminate vertebral fragility fracture.The translational potential of this articleThe spine BMD measured by QCT is closely related to fracture, which may allow clinicians to more accurately discriminate which individuals are likely to experience vertebral fragility fracture.
