Correlation between BMD & Radio Density of Human Bones for Strength Evaluation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Radio Density of bones is measured in Hounsfield Units (HU) by a technique called as tomography, whereas the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is measured by Dual-energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan. We aimed at finding correlation between BMD and HU of human bones for their strength evaluation.
