Résumé
Screening for osteoporosis is crucial in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The aim of this study was to assess the value of thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT-derived bone mineral density (BMD) results in L1, compared to dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) results for osteoporosis screening in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
