| Research Abstract |
Using clinical computed tomography (CT) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), hip geometry and structure-related biomechanical properties were analyzed to establish Japanese women database and to investigate clinical usefulness of hip geometry analysis using bone images. In this project, we have investigated longitudinal changes of hip geometry in Japanese postmenopausal women, characteristic of hip geometry in patients with femoral neck and trochanter fracture, and the effectiveness of osteoporotic agents (bisphosphonate and active vitamin D3 as bone anti-resorptive agents, and teriparatid as bone formative agents) on hip geometry as well as biomechanical properties.
