This study shows that fractal analysis of the lumbar spine CT images may be used to determine bone density before spinal instrumentation (eg, metastatic or traumatic cord compression). Further prospective studies comparing results of the fractal analysis of CT scans with quantitative CT (qCT) are warranted.
