Assessing bone microstructure at the distal radius in children and adolescents using HR-pQCT: A methodological pilot study

, 2010
We examined the use of high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT [XtremeCT; Scanco Medical, Switzerland]) to assess bone microstructure at the distal radius in growing children and adolescents.

Dynamic changes of bone microarchitecture and volumetric mineral density assessed by HR-pQCT in patients with cervical cancer after concurrent chemoradiotherapy: a prospective study

Biomarker Research
Bone changes in patients undergoing pelvic radiotherapy remain unclear. This study initially utilized high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) to assess the dynamic changes in bone microarchitecture and volumetric bone ...

Fabric–elasticity relationships of femoral head trabecular bone are similar in Type 2 diabetes and non-diabetic individuals

Bone Reports
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic disease leading to an elevated glucose level in the blood and increased fracture risk. Because T2D individuals tend to have normal to higher areal bone mineral density (aBMD) than healthy individuals, their fracture ...

Homogenized finite element analysis of distal tibia sections: Achievements and limitations

Bone Reports
High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) based micro-finite element (μFE) analysis allows accurate prediction of stiffness and ultimate load of standardised (∼1 cm) distal radius and tibia sections. An alternative homogenized

Bone mineral density assessment by DXA in disease-associated osteoporosis: the limitations

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Measuring bone density by DXA is a routine means of predicting fracture risk. These 2–dimensional images have limitations and may underestimate the risk of fracture due to inadequate evaluation of bone strength.

High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) to detect compartmental bone loss on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT): A feasibility study.

, 2017
209 Background: ADT causes bone loss, yet standard bone density (DXA) measurements do not distinguish cortical vs. trabecular bone loss and are falsely elevated in patients (pts) with sclerotic metastases, potentially underestimating fracture risk.

Bone microarchitecture and strength in men and women with PLS3 gene variants assessed with HR-pQCT [PDF]

X-linked osteoporosis, caused by PLS3 genetic variants, is a rare bone disease, clinically affecting mainly men. Limited data are available on bone microarchitecture and genotype-phenotype correlations in this disease.

Prediction of distal radius fracture load using HR-pQCT-based finite element analysis [PDF]

, 2009
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease of reduced bone mass, degraded micro--architecture and increased fragility. Distal radius (Colles') fractures occur earlier in lifetime than other osteoporotic fractures.

Comparison of hr-pQCT & MRTA to DXA & QUS for the Ex-vivo Assessment of Bone Strength

, 2010
There is a pressing need for better assessment of bone strength as current clinical tools do not directly measure bone mechanical properties, but offer only surrogate measures of bone strength.
