On new opportunities for absorptiometry
Mechanical loads cause bone strains; and muscle forces, not body weight, cause the largest strains. The strains help to control the eff...
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the femoral neck in 60 Japanese women
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is able to evaluate trabecular and cortical bone separately, and to determine geomet...
Tomographical description of tennis-loaded radius: reciprocal relation between bone size and volumetric BMD
Effects of long-term tennis loading on volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and geometric properties of playing-arm radius were exami...
Clinical evaluation of a high-resolution new peripheral quantitative computerized tomography (pQCT) scanner for the bone densitometry at the lower limbs
Precision, long-term stability, linearity and accuracy of the x-ray peripheral quantitative computerized tomographic (pQCT) bone scanne...
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography in human long bones: evaluation of in vitro and in vivo precision
Despite the excellent performance in clinical practice and research, the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is restricted by the inherent...
Estrogen and bone-muscle strength and mass relationships
The largest voluntary loads on bones come from muscles. To adapt bone strength and mass to them, special strain threshold ranges determ...
Prediction of fracture load at different skeletal sites by geometric properties of the cortical shell
Quantitative bone assessment today is primarily based on the analysis of bone mineral density (BMD). The geometric properties of bone, ...
Cortical and total bone mineral content of the radius: accuracy of peripheral computed tomography
The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of an XCT 960 Stratec peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) device in as...
