Abstract
There is a correlation between DXA BMD and DECT in non-contrast and venous contrast scans but not in arterial scans. The correlation is further improved by quantifying the degree of different confounding factors (osteoarthritis of the spine, body mass index and aortic calcium score) and taking these into account in an explanatory model. Future software solutions with DECT data as input data might be able to automatically measure the BMD in the trabecular bone as well as measuring the confounding factors automatically in order to obtain spinal DXA comparable BMD values.
