Zusammenfassung
Abstract Background Our aim was to determine if the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-measured forearm bone mineral density (BMD) correlates with the Hounsfield unit (HU) values obtained from computed tomography (CT). Methods A retrospective analysis of 164 patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine was performed. DXA was used to measure the BMD and T-scores of each patient’s forearm. Lumbar CT was used to measure the CT HU values in three axial images of the L1–L4 vertebral bodies, and the average was calculated. According to the preoperative DXA T-score, they were divided into a normal group,…
