摘要: Over the past 15 years many attempts have been made to make use of quantitative information contained within computed tomography (CT) scanner images. A survey various approaches (QCT) is reported. The technical limitations QCT are discussed. It concluded that measurement bone mineral content currently only clinically well-established technique.
