Application of virtual monochromatic images in bone mineral density measurements: a phantom study

Abstract Quantitative CT (QCT) measures bone mineral density (BMD), but beam hardening effect can cause errors and instability in BMD measurements. The purpose of this phantom study is to explore whether the application of virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) in QCT can reduce the measurement error o...
