Abstract:
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To compare trabecular bone structure measures obtained in magnetic resonance images of the distal radius and the calcaneus as well as computed tomographic images of the spine versus bone mineral density (BMD) of the spine and the calcaneus in the prediction of osteoporotic spine fracture status. MATERIAL AND METHODS: High-resolution magnetic resonance images of the calcaneus and the distal radius and thin-section computed tomographic images of thoracic and lumbar verteb...     »
