The impact of obesity on the accuracy of DXA BMD for DXA-equivalent BMD estimation
Abstract Introduction As the radiomics technique using texture features in CT is adopted for accessing DXA-equivalent bone mineral density (BMD), this study aims to compare BMD by DXA and predicted BMD to investigate the impact of obesity and central obesity in general patients.
