How 64-slice CT saved my life: A radiologist's story
Buying a major piece of imaging equipment is always a big moment for a radiologist. So Dr. Benjamin Roach was truly excited when his facility, Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital in Ashland, KY, decided to purchase a new CT scanner. For the purchase of a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art 64-slice scanner, the excitement was palpable: "Think of the lives we'll save," he thought. Little did he know that one of the first lives saved would be his own.

Chest CT muscle attenuation predicts future bone density loss
By Will Morton
Muscle and bone loss commonly coexist with aging, but potential links between paraspinal muscle and thoracic vertebral bone mineral density loss remain poorly understood
September 15, 2026
Study overview. (A) Volumetric segmentation of the paraspinal musculature was performed for 1,316 participants. (B) Manual segmentation was performed, the results were compared with the volumetric segmentation results, and the Dice score and the intersection over union were calculated. (C) The three-dimensional segmentations from T1 through T10 were individually extracted and combined into a single volume for analyses. (D) Muscle volume and median muscle attenuation were derived from the segmentation volumes. (E) Analyses were performed to assess the correlation of the paraspinal muscle attenuation and volume with the bone mineral density and the ability to predict vertebral fractures.
