| Research Abstract |
Assessment of bone strength is important in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Although bone densitometry is widely used in clinical practice, it is well known that bone density itself is inadequate for the accurate estimation of bone strength. Macro- and microstructure of bone is another important property determining bone strength. Quantitative assessment of macrostructure can be achieved using dual X-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography. Finite element analysis based on computed tomography has recently been developed to improve the estimation of bone strength in vivo. In this project, we have evaluated the clinical usefulness of these methods in the diagnosis of osteoporosis.
