Vertebral Hounsfield-unit CT attenuation is associated with DXA T-score in humans (R = 0.42).
“Correlation and inter-method reliability between VHU and DXA-T-scores were fair (R = 0.42, ĸ < 0.3).”

Vertebral Hounsfield-unit CT attenuation predicts osteoporotic fractures in humans (AUC 0.71).
“VHU performed similarly to DXA spine T-score, QCT, FRAX and Garvan in discrimination for both prevalent VF (AUC 0.71) and incident fractures (AUC 0.71).”

Low bone mineral density
upin humans1
Vertebral Hounsfield-unit CT attenuation predicts low bone mineral density in humans (AUC 0.74).
“In 91 participants (M: F ratio 0.75), VHU moderately discriminated low DXA-BMD moderately (AUC 0.74), similar to QCT (AUC 0.73), FRAX (AUC 0.82) and Garvan (AUC 0.78)(p > 0.05).”
