Determination of bone mineral content using CT scanning

NE Reich, FE Seidelmann, RR Tubbs, WJ Mac Intyre, TF Meaney, RJ Alfidi, and RG Pepe

The usefulness and accuracy of CT scanning in the determination of bone mineral content is studied. The radius in 31 patients of both sexes and varying ages was examined using both the Norland-Cameron bone mineral analyzer and the CT scanner. There was reasonably good correlation (r=.72). Ten cadaver bones were then examined with CT scanning and were sent to the laboratory for calcium determination. These results indicate excellent correlation (r=.97). It is concluded that CT scanning represents the only practical and accurate in vivo method of bone mineral content determination.
