• Opportunistic QCT predicts osteoporotic vertebral fractures better than DXA reference standard in mainly neurosurgical and oncologic patients. • More than every second patient (56%) with an incident vertebral fracture was misdiagnosed not having osteoporosis according to DXA. • Standard ACR QCT-cutoff values for osteoporosis (3 ) and osteopenia (≤ 120 mg/cm 3 ) can also be applied scanner independently in calibrated opportunistic QCT.
