Which of the following techniques or methods provides bone mineral density (BMD) measurements for both trabecular and cortical bones?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) provides BMD measurements for both trabecular and cortical bones. Although dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can measure BMD, it primarily assesses BMD in cortical bone and is less accurate for trabecular bone. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measures bone density indirectly and is primarily used to assess trabecular bone density in the heel or finger.
