The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $783,176 Project Grant (CFDA 93.846 - Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research) to Mayo Clinic to develop and validate a quantitative spine imaging methodology using photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) for comprehensive assessment of bone quality in patients undergoing pharmacologic therapy for osteoporosis. The project aims to enable accurate characterization of cortical and trabecular bone microstructure to support the early detection and monitoring of skeletal fragility. The 2-year project, with an anticipated completion date of August 2026, will first validate the PCD-CT imaging approach using cadaver samples and then clinically translate the methodology to quantify bone quality in osteoporotic patients in vivo.
