Bone biomarkers included formation, resorption and regulator are released during the bone
remodeling processes. These bone biomarkers have attracted much attention in the clinical …

Dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans to measure bone mineral density (BMD) at
the spine and hip have an important role in the evaluation of individuals at risk of …

The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) has developed Official Positions
for the clinical use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and non-DXA technologies …

As was true 10 years ago, tremendous interest surrounds the concept of" bone quality," as
shown by the intense and growing research activity in the field. The urgency to advance …

The biomechanical role of the vertebral cortical shell remains poorly understood. Using high‐
resolution finite element modeling of a cohort of elderly vertebrae, we found that the …

Bone materials are characterized by an astonishing variability and diversity. Still, because of
'architectural constraints' due to once chosen material constituents and their physical …

Non-invasive and/or non-destructive techniques can provide structural information about
bone, beyond simple bone densitometry. While the latter provides important information …

We studied the effect of re‐exposure to Earth's gravity on the proximal femoral BMD and
structure of astronauts 1 year after missions lasting 4–6 months. We observed that the …

At her annual visit, a 60-year-old woman asks her physician whether she should have a
bone-density test to screen for osteoporosis. The patient went through menopause at the …

The ability of a bone to resist fracture depends on the amount of bone present, the spatial
distribution of the bone mass as cortical and trabecular bone and the intrinsic properties of …
