Clinical observation of diminished bone quality and quantity through longitudinal HR-pQCT-derived remodeling and mechanoregulation [PDF]
High resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) provides methods for quantifying volumetric bone mineral density and microarchitecture necessary for early diagnosis of bone disease. When combined with a longitudinal imaging protocol

Validation of calcaneus trabecular microstructure measurements by HR-pQCT [PDF]
Assessment of calcaneus microstructure using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) might be used to improve fracture risk predictions or to assess responses to pharmacological and physical interventions. To develop a standard clinical protocol for the calcaneus, we validated calcaneus trabecular microstructure measured ...

Least-detectable and age-related local in vivo bone remodelling assessed by time-lapse HR-pQCT. [PDF]
We previously developed an image analysis approach for the determination of local sites of bone remodelling using time-lapse in vivo HR-pQCT. The involved image filtering for removing noise was chosen rather aggressively, and also removed some effects of

HR-pQCT Measures of Bone Microarchitecture Predict Fracture: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
ABSTRACT High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is a noninvasive imaging modality for assessing volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and microarchitecture of cancellous and cortical bone. The objective was to (1) assess fracture-associated differences in HR-pQCT bone parameters; and (2) to determine if

Microstructural parameters of bone evaluated using HR-pQCT correlate with the DXA-derived cortical index and the trabecular bone score in a cohort of randomly selected premenopausal women. [PDF]
BackgroundAreal bone mineral density is predictive for fracture risk. Microstructural bone parameters evaluated at the appendicular skeleton by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) display differences between healthy ...

Bone mineral density and bone microarchitecture in a cohort of patients with Erdheim-Chester Disease
Background Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD) is a rare type of non-Langerhans histiocytosis. Skeletal structures are affected in over 95% ECD patients. Due to the lack of proper imaging assessment tools, the alteration of bone microarchitecture in ECD has ...

The influence of disuse on bone microstructure and mechanics assessed by HR-pQCT [PDF]
Numerous clinical cohorts are exposed to reduced skeletal loading and associated bone loss, including surgical patients, stroke and spinal cord injury victims, and women on bed rest during pregnancy. In this context, understanding disuse-related bone loss is critical to developing interventions to prevent fractures and the associated morbidity ...
