This invention includes a computed tomography (CT) system which has the ability to quantitate cortical bone. Based on a series of specialized phantom measurements, the characteristics of the CT scanner with respect to the evaluation of cortical bone are established. The resulting characteristics provide the input to a specific algorithm that analyzes cross-sectional images containing cortical bone.
