Predictive value of bone mineral density and morphology determined by peripheral quantitative computed tomography for cancellous bone strength of the proximal femur
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is an established diagnostic method for assessment of bone mineral density in the di...
Contributions of bone density and geometry to the strength of the human second metatarsal
We investigated, at the whole bone level, the contribution of bone density and geometry to the fracture load of the second metatarsal, ...
Densitometric and tomographic analyses of musculoskeletal interactions in humans
Previous studies with standard densitometry (DXA) have suggested that the bone mass is strongly dependent on the muscle mass in the spe...
Exercise-induced bone gain is due to enlargement in bone size without a change in volumetric bone density: a peripheral quantitative computed tomography study of the upper arms of male tennis players
Bilateral bone characteristics of the humerus (proximal, shaft, and distal sites) and radius (shaft and distal sites) in 12 former Finn...
Ultrasonographic, axial, and peripheral measurements in female patients with benign hypermobility syndrome
Twenty-five female Caucasians, aged 19-57 years, with the hypermobility syndrome had bone density measurements using established noninv...
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...
Perspectives on bone mechanical properties and adaptive response to mechanical challenge
The bones of the human skeleton serve a mechanical function besides providing a reservoir for calcium and hematopoietic homeostatis. Wh...
Precision and intersite correlation of bone densitometry at the radius, tibia and femur with peripheral quantitative CT
OBJECTIVE: To compare the in situ precision of peripheral quantitative CT (pQCT) at the radius, tibia and femur, and to analyze the int...
