[The initial results of lumbar dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) compared to double-energy quantitative computed tomography (DE-QCT)].
Bone density measurements were performed on 51 patients with suspected osteoporosis. We used DE-QCT and DEXA. The methods were compared with regard to deviation from normal. In 29 of the 51 patients there was more than half standard deviation and in 12 of the 51 cases there was more than a full standard deviation.
