Clinical Imaging of Bone Microarchitecture with HR-pQCT [PDF]
Osteoporosis, a disease characterized by loss of bone mass and structural deterioration, is currently diagnosed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). However, DXA does not provide information about bone microstructure, which is a key determinant of bone strength. Recent advances in imaging permit the assessment of bone microstructure in vivo using

The Estimation of Second-Generation HR-pQCT From First-Generation HR-pQCT Using In Vivo Cross-Calibration [PDF]
ABSTRACT Second-generation high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) provides the highest resolution in vivo to assess bone density and microarchitecture in 3D. Although strong agreement of most outcomes measured with first- (XCTI) and second- (XCTII) generation HR-pQCT ...

Bone Microarchitecture in Hemodialysis Patients Assessed by HR-pQCT [PDF]
Dialysis patients are at high risk for low-trauma bone fracture. Bone density measurements using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) do not reliably differentiate between patients with and without fractures. The aim of this study was to identify differences in bone microarchitecture between patients with and without a history of fracture using high ...

Structural analysis of cortical porosity applied to HR-pQCT data. [PDF]
The investigation of cortical porosity is an important aspect of understanding biological, pathoetiological, and biomechanical processes occurring within the skeleton. With the emergence of HR-pQCT as a noninvasive tool suitable for clinical use, cortical porosity at appendicular sites can be directly visualized in vivo.
