Central dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine and proximal femur is the preferred method for bone mineral density (BMD) testing. Despite the fracture risk statistics, osteoporosis testing with DXA remains underused. However, BMD can also be assessed with quantitative computed tomography (QCT) that may be available when access to DXA is restricted. For patients undergoing a primary CT study of the abdomen or pelvis, a potential opportunity exists for concurrent BMD screening by QCT without the need for any additional imaging, radiation exposure, or patient time.
