Abstract
Trabecular bone has a significantly greater effect than cortical bone on the structural integrity and load bearing capacity of vertebrae. This might lead to a higher incidence of fragility fractures in osteoporotic women. Our non-invasive, quantitative computed tomography image-based approach may improve prevention, monitoring, and management of fractures.
