Measurement of Hounsfield Units (HU) from computed tomography using the Scheriber measurement methods. HU was measured within a circular range in the axial view in three sections divided by height. The HU of the vertebral body was defined as the average HU value of the three sections. In the vertebral body where the pedicle screw was inserted, HU was measured in an oval shape in the space between the pedicle screws. Afterwards, the process is the same.
