How to calculate BMD

Hi,

We have calculated BMD with MircoCT using the method described here.

We are yet to publish our papers based on this yet.

Basically, the main prerequisite is to have a Calibrated machine.
Then we measured the HU means in 3 phantoms with know density. And as Prof Lasso suggested in the final version we took 5 samples to get the

You can pretty much replicate this process in 3D Slicer provided you have a calibrated machine and phantoms with know density.

The resources we used are,
Fortunately, we did not have to (research team) do the calibration by ourself but it was done by the professionals.
