Summary
This study tested whether a specialized CT scan (DECT) can better predict bone fractures in women with osteoporosis than the standard bone density test (DEXA). Researchers scanned the spine of 7 women aged 60 or older to analyze the inner bone structure. The goal was to develop a computer tool that estimates fracture risk more accurately, potentially helping doctors prevent breaks before they happen.
