Gender-specific pubertal changes in volumetric cortical bone mineral density at the proximal radius
It is well established that puberty affects the geometry of cortical bone differently in females and males. In the present study we inv...
Bone mineral content per muscle cross-sectional area as an index of the functional muscle-bone unit
Bone densitometric data often are difficult to interpret in children and adolescents because of large inter- and intraindividual variat...
Prediction of strength of cortical bone in vitro by microcomputed tomography
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of bone mineral density and intracortical porosity measured by mi...
Predictive value of Singh index and bone mineral density measured by quantitative computed tomography in determining the local cancellous bone quality of the proximal femur
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the predictive value of the Singh index as well as quantitative computed tomography ...
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography at the distal radius: cross-calibration between two scanners
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is an important technique to study the interaction between the muscle and bone syste...
Postmenopausal changes in the distribution of the volumetric BMD of cortical bone. A pQCT study of the human leg
Three different regions of interest (ROIs) were defined in pQCT scans (XCT-3000 machine, Stratec, Germany) taken at the tibial mid-diap...
Ultrasound velocity and cortical bone characteristics in vivo
Axial transmission of ultrasound along cortical bone may reflect a combination of material and structural properties of long bone corti...
High-impact exercise and bones of growing girls: a 9-month controlled trial
The maximum amount of bone a person can obtain during the first two decades of life is an important determinant of bone mass in later l...
Comparison of bone parameters by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography in Hutterite vs. non-Hutterite women aged 35-60 years
A previous report of elevated dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) bone mineral density (BMD) Z scores suggests that Hutterite female...
Estimation of the architectural properties of cortical bone using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
We assessed the volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and cross-sectional architecture of cortical bone at the distal radius by periph...
