The diagnosis and management of osteoporosis have been improved by the development of
new quantitative methods of skeletal assessment and by the availability of an increasing …

Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for millions of Americans with billions of dollars
per year of national direct costs for osteoporotic fractures. Osteoporosis results in a decrease …

The objective of this study was to evaluate right proximal femur shape as a risk factor for
incident hip fracture using active shape modeling (ASM). A nested case‐control study of …

PURPOSE: There is a continuing need to improve the prediction of hip fractures to identify
those at highest risk, enabling cost-effective use of preventative therapies. METHODS: The …

Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease. It is characterised by reduced
bone mass, altered bone architecture and the clinical consequence of fracture with little or …

Subclinical or undiagnosed vertebral fractures on routine chest computed tomography (CT)
may be useful for detecting patients at increased risk of future hip fractures who might benefit …

Study Design. Analysis of positional magnetic resonance images of normal volunteers.
Objective. To compare the reliability and precision of an active shape model to that of …

Studies using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and data-driven image analysis
techniques have shown that trabecular and cortical volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) …

Objectives: Manual point placement for vertebral morphometry is time-consuming and
imprecise. We evaluated the accuracy of semiautomatic computer determination of the …

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether loss of bone measured by digital X-
ray radiogrammetry (DXR) of hands early in the course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may …
