title: Quantitative bone mineral analysis using dual energy computed tomography.
abstract: This preliminary evaluation indicates that CT scanning permits measurement of cancellous, cortical or integral bone. With the single energy technique, precision is high and with mode, CT scanning may prove an important tool for assessing the axial skeleton is osteoporotic conditions.
