Bone microarchitecture in hemodialysis patients assessed by HR-pQCT.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Dialysis patients are at high risk for low-trauma bone fracture. Bone density measurements using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) do not reliably differentiate between patients with and without fractures. The aim of this study was to identify differences in bone microarchitecture between patients with and without a history of fracture using high-resolution periph...
متن کاملA Longitudinal HR-pQCT Study of Alendronate Treatment in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Density: Relations Among Density, Cortical and Trabecular Microarchitecture, Biomechanics, and Bone Turnover
The goal of this study was to characterize longitudinal changes in bone microarchitecture and function in women treated with an established antifracture therapeutic. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, 53 early postmenopausal women with low bone density (age = 56 ± 4 years; femoral neck T-score = -1.5 ± 0.6) were monitored by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed to...
متن کاملHigh-resolution Computed Tomography for Clinical Imaging of Bone Microarchitecture
BACKGROUND The role of bone structure, one component of bone quality, has emerged as a contributor to bone strength. The application of high-resolution imaging in evaluating bone structure has evolved from an in vitro technology for small specimens to an emerging clinical research tool for in vivo studies in humans. However, many technical and practical challenges remain to translate these tech...
متن کاملValue of Measuring Bone Microarchitecture in Fracture Discrimination in Older Women with Recent Hip Fracture: A Case-control Study with HR-pQCT
We aimed to determine whether loss of volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and deterioration of microarchitecture imaged by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography at the distal radius/tibia provided additional information in fracture discrimination in postmenopausal women with recent hip fracture. This case-control study involved 24 postmenopausal Chinese women with unila...
متن کاملChallenges in longitudinal measurements with HR-pQCT: evaluation of a 3D registration method to improve bone microarchitecture and strength measurement reproducibility.
Definition of identical regions between repeated computed tomography (CT) scans is a key factor to monitor changes in bone microarchitecture. In longitudinal studies, accurate determination of the volume of interest (VOI), using three dimensional (3D) registration may improve precision. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the short-term reproducibility of bone geometry, density, ...
