Abstract(in English) In diagnosis of vertebral bodies, grasping bone mineral density (BMD) value is important. This paper investigates the bone mineral density value of Japanese male vertebral trabecular bones, and shows those correlations. Using X-ray CT images of 87 subjects, CT number of vertebral trabecular bones from the twelfth thoracic vertebra to the first sacral vertebra was measured, and BMD values were estimated from CT number using a bone mineral reference phantom. In addition, the relation of BMD values of each vertebra was analyzed. The present study showed that there was no statistical significant difference in BMD values of vertebral trabecular bones from the twelfth thoracic vertebra to the fifth lumbar vertebra. Therefore, among these vertebrae, if the CT number of one vertebra is known, the BMD values of the other vertebrae can be estimated based on the relationships shown by our research.
