| Popis: | Background and Aim: Osteoporosis (OP) is defined as a bone density-related disorder identified by a reduction of the microstructure quality of bone with increased fracture risk. The current study aimed to evaluate the ability of the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging method to predict osteoporosis and osteopenia using Radiographic Density (RD) values derived from cervical vertebrae. Materials and methods: This study was a descriptive-cross sectional study conducted on 54 research units suffering from osteopenia and osteoporosis in the hip, aged 42-72 years. Finally, the values of RD from the lateral mass of the first cervical vertebra on both right and left side and dens and body of the second cervical vertebrae were calculated by NNT viewer software. Results: Comparing all values of RD obtained from the first cervical vertebrae and second cervical vertebrae revealed a statistically significant difference between the three groups (P-value |
