Abstract: Purpose Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is an alternate imaging method to dual X-ray absorptiometry to measure bone mineral density (BMD). One advantage of QCT is that it allows site-specific volumetric BMD (vBMD) measurements in a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1227/neu.0000000000002269
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Surgeons can preoperatively assess bone quality using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or computed tomography; however, this is not feasible for all patients. Recently, a MRI-based scoring system was used to evaluate the lumbar spine's vertebral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1308/rcsann.2022.0050
Abstract: BACKGROUND Cage subsidence after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery has been well documented with rates of up to 40%. Cages fill the void after cervical discectomy and promote fusion. These materials have different… read more here.
