What is k2hpo4 Doing a CT axial bone density In the lumbar spine the doctor dictates lumbar spine is 80.0 mg ccof k2hp04 do you know what this means?
CT uses aqueous dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (K2HPO4) as its calibration standard, whereas DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry uses calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHAP). The doctor is relating the CT results to the standard used in CT analysis. QCT is a volumetric measure, while DXA is a two-dimensional measurement. The spine axial bone density of this patient was equivalent to 80 mg/cm^3 of K2HPO4, the reference standard for CT analysis.

What is instatrak CT?
An InstaTrak CT refers to a CT or CAT scan, usually of the sinuses, which is done prior to performing a sinus surgery in which the surgeon will use the InstaTrak Surgical Navigation System. Although the majority of CT scans for the InstaTrak are done for sinus surgery, some Neurosurgeons will order a CT scan for a brain surgery. This is usually rare because for most brain surgeries, the surgeon will utilize an MRI scan with The InstaTrak which will typically show the detail of the softer brain tissues better for the surgeon.
