DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.1047603
Abstract: Background Utilizing dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess bone mineral density (BMD) was not routine in many clinical scenarios, leading to missed diagnoses of osteoporosis. The objective of this study is to obtain effective parameters… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13111913
Abstract: Background: In vivo Hounsfield Unit (HU) values have traditionally been determined using direct CT image measurements. These measurements are dependent on the window/level used to examine the CT image and the individual conducting the fat… read more here.
