Age‐, Site‐, and Sex‐Specific Normative Centile Curves for HR‐pQCT‐Derived Microarchitectural and Bone Strength Parameters in a Chinese Mainland Population

Fan Yu, Yuping Xu, Yanfang Hou, Yuanyuan Lin, more

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research > 35 > 11 > 2159 - 2170

High‐resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR‐pQCT) is an advanced 3D imaging technology that has the potential to contribute to fracture risk assessment and early diagnosis of osteoporosis. However, to date no studies have sought to establish normative reference ranges for HR‐pQCT measures among individuals from the Chinese mainland, significantly restricting its use. In this study,...

Impact of reference point selection on DXA-based measurement of forearm bone mineral density

Wei Yu, Qifeng Ying, Wenmin Guan, Qiang Lin, more

Archives of Osteoporosis > 2019 > 14 > 1 > 1-7

Summary Few studies have systematically evaluated the technical aspects of forearm bone mineral density (BMD) measurement. We found that BMD remained stable regardless of the reference point; however, the ROI identified was not always consistent. Our study highlights the importance of using the same reference point for serial measurements of forearm BMD. Background Forearm fractures are clinically...
