چکیده

Background: Previous studies have shown a moderate correlation between bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and Hounsfield units (HU) assessed on diagnostic computed tomography (CT) scans in the lumbar spine.  Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between DEXA scores and HU values for ...
