Abstract
A method for determining bone mass density (BMD) of a patient includes obtaining X-ray scan data of a region of interest (ROI) of the patient using an energy discriminating photon counting radiation detector, and calculating the bone mass density (BMD) of the region of interest of the patient based on detected X-ray photon counts within three or more energy bins.
