HR-pQCT appears promising to assess bone density and microarchitecture at peripheral sites in terms of reproducibility and ability to detect age- and disease-related changes.
Bone quality--the material and structural basis of bone strength and fragility.
This review discusses advances in knowledge regarding the composition and structure of bone, the modeling and remodeling of bone, the formation of bone during growth and its reconstruction in adults,…
