Computed tomography (CT) has the potential of providing a precise quantification of trabecular bone. A special purpose low dose CT system for applications at peripheral measuring sites has been developed. With this system, the quantification of trabecular bone can be achieved with a reproducibility on the order of 0.3%. It has been used successfully in pilot studies of immobilization osteoporosis in children and adults on a week by week basis. Currently, the method is being used in a preliminary investigation of bone loss in women in an attempt to differentiate normal changes from changes due to postmenopausal osteoporosis. Results obtained so far indicate that intervals of 3 months are adequate for following the natural course of osteoporosis or its response to therapy on an individual basis.
