Summary

Bone mineral density is an important measurement to detect osteoporosis. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare bone mineral density measurements in CT examinations and DXA scans. The main question it aims to answer is: * How good is the measurement of bone mineral density in the new photon-counting CT in comparison to DXA * How can we optimize the CT scan for bone mineral density Participants will undergo: * Clinically indicated CT scan on day of inclusion * Study related DXA scan on a separate appointment

Conditions

• Osteoporosis, Osteopenia
• Bone Loss

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Bone Mineral Density quantification	In the first visit, participants receive clinically indicated CT scan, where bone mineral density will be derived. In a second, study related visit, participants will receive a DXA scan for bone mineral quantifications.
