New Webinar Event

This webinar will cover various approaches to diagnose osteoporosis, including the use of DXA and other bone mineral density measurements such as Quantitative CT, CT-based Hounsfield Units, as well as the FRAX fracture assessment tool.

What you'll learn

DXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry): How DXA measures bone mineral density (BMD) and serves as the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis.

Quantitative CT (QCT): Techniques for using QCT to assess bone density in three dimensions.

CT-based Hounsfield Units: Utilizing Hounsfield Units from CT scans as indicators of bone strength.

FRAX Fracture Assessment Tool: Applying the FRAX tool to evaluate fracture risk based on patient-specific factors.
