In Vivo Hip Fracture Discrimination With Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT)

NCT01035177 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 107

Last updated 2009-12-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Numerous geometric and bone mineral density (BMD) parameters can be derived from quantitative computed tomography (QCT) images of the proximal femur analyzed using dedicated software. The primary objective is to evaluate the contribution of QCT-image analysis to the prediction of the osteoporotic hip fracture risk, as compared to the reference standard, namely, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Study hypothesis: For predicting osteoporotic hip fracture, findings from QCT images of the proximal femur analyzed using dedicated software are superior over DXA measurements of proximal femoral BMD.
