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...
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...
Age-related changes assessed by peripheral QCT in healthy Italian women
The purpose of this study was to describe the normal cross-sectional pattern of radial bone loss associated with aging in healthy women...
Age-related changes in the biochemical properties of human cancellous bone collagen: relationship to bone strength
The metabolism of bone collagen has received little attention in relation to age-related loss of bone mass and strength. The aim of the...
Age at menarche and cortical bone geometry in premenopausal women
Previous studies have suggested that the timing of puberty might have an impact on the adult skeleton. What composite of bone structure...
Alendronate increases bone density and bone strength at the distal radius in postmenopausal women
In addition to the alendronate Osteoporosis Intervention Trial (FOSIT) core protocol 901-0A of 1908 enrolled patients, the use of perip...
Bone density reduction in various measurement sites in men and women with osteoporotic fractures of spine and hip: the European quantitation of osteoporosis study
We have measured bone mineral density (BMD) using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the spine and hip, spinal quantitative computed to...
Diagnostic sensitivity of peripheral quantitative computed tomography measurements at ultradistal and proximal radius in postmenopausal women
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is a bone densitometry technique that is able to provide real volumetric bone densit...
