Accuracy of dual-layer detector spectral CT for bone mineral density quantification. Mean relative errors (%) per protocol per nominal design HA concentration are shown. Symbols indicate mean measurement error (%) and error bars standard deviation. * = Phantom specific concentrations (ESP-143; 51.2, 102.3 and 201.2 mg/cm3 HA and BDC-03-29; 104.4 and 206.2 mg/cm3 HA) were used to determine deviation.
