The review provides the literature data on the basal issues of bone remodeling and the applied use of medical imaging techniques for the prevention of clinically significant consequences of osteoporosis. The article discusses the role and prospects of using the method of quantitative computed tomography and its modifications for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and osteopenic syndrome. It considers the advantages of quantitative computed tomography over widely used medical techniques for assessing bone mineral density (mono- and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, mono- and dual-energy isotope absorptiometry).
