Comparison of pQCT-Based Measures of Radial Bone Geometry and Apparent Trabecular Bone Structure Using Manufacturer and In-House-Developed Algorithms
Abstract
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) provides noninvasive densitometric and morphometric measures of total, trabecular, and cortical bone compartments. Skeletal changes over time can be determined by repeated measurements. Image thickness of 2.5mm is thought to be advantageous with respect to test-retest reliability through interrogation of a significant tissue volume. However, the error associated with slight shifts in image …
