Abstract
Commercial software is generally needed to measure the areal bone mineral density (aBMD) of the proximal femur from clinical computed tomography (CT) images. This study developed and verified an open-source reproducible system to quantify CT-aBMD to screen osteoporosis using clinical CT images.
