Quantitative micro-computed tomography: a non-invasive method to assess equivalent bone mineral density.
One of the many applications of micro computed tomography (microCT) is to accurately visualize and quantify cancellous bone microstructure. However, microCT based assessment of bone mineral density has yet to be thoroughly investigated. Specifically, the effects of varying imaging parameters, such as tube voltage (kVp), current (microA), integration time (ms), object to X-ray source distance (m...
متن کاملBone-composition imaging using coherent-scatter computed tomography: assessing bone health beyond bone mineral density.
Quantitative analysis of bone composition is necessary for the accurate diagnosis and monitoring of metabolic bone diseases. Accurate assessment of the bone mineralization state is the first requirement for a comprehensive analysis. In diagnostic imaging, x-ray coherent scatter depends upon the molecular structure of tissues. Coherent-scatter computed tomography (CSCT) exploits this feature to ...
متن کاملCan Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography Assess Bone Mineral Density?
Mineral density distribution of bone tissue is altered by active bone modeling and remodeling due to bone complications including bone disease and implantation surgery. Clinical cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been examined whether it can assess oral bone mineral density (BMD) in patient. It has been indicated that CBCT has disadvantages of higher noise and lower contrast than conventi...
متن کاملBone Density Measurement Using Computed Tomography
Osteoporosis is a major medical, social, and economic problem. Osteoporosis and low bone mass affect an estimated 44 million Americans (National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2008). The lifetime risk of hip, spine, or forearm fractures is estimated to be 40% in white women and 13% in white men above 50 years of age. Considerable attention is therefore focused on assessing bone mass and the ability t...
متن کاملDetection of Fatigue Microdamage in Human Cortical Bone Using Micro-Computed Tomography
INTRODUCTION: Conventional techniques used to image microdamage in cortical bone require the preparation of many histologic sections which is inherently invasive, destructive, two-dimensional, and tedious [1]. These limitations inhibit evaluation of the effects of microdamage on whole bone strength and prohibit detection of microdamage in vivo. Therefore, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) ha...
