Background: High resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) can accurately determine three-dimensional in-vivo skeletal microstructure. However, HRpQCT is limited to the ultradistal radius and tibia (9 mm) imaging. MRI may be an alternative approach to cortical and trabecular bone analysis; to date there is limited information regarding the accurate quantification of trabecular bone.Method: Ninety-three 13–16 years-old ...
