The peripheral QCT scanner is needed for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center, Albuquerque, NM. This request is for the purchase of a peripheral QCT scanner able to provide true volumetric measurement of bone density and can separate the Cortical shell from the Trabecular bone compartment for early detection of changes in response to testosterone replacement. Therefore the results from the peripheral QCT taken together with areal bone density from DXA and bone markers of turnover, will provide a comprehensive assessment of the impact of testosterone replacement in hypogonal men as a function of CYP19A1 polymorphism.
