In the study by Adams (2012), the benefits of quantitative computed tomography (QCT) over dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for bone imaging in osteoporosis are explored. QCT provides a three-dimensional assessment of bone quality and density, which offers a more nuanced understanding of fracture risk compared to the traditional two-dimensional DXA methods. This advancement in imaging techniques can lead to more accurate diagnosis and better management of osteoporosis, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
