In addition, QCT can avoid the artificially high BMD measurements that can confuse the results from DXA in arthritic patients, patients who are obese, who suffer from disc space narrowing or spinal degenerative diseases, aortic calcification or osteophytes.
QCT can provide accurate BMD measurements by mitigating the impact of certain conditions that can distort DXA readings, such as arthritis, obesity, disc space narrowing, spinal degenerative diseases, aortic calcification, and osteophytes.
