High-resolution in vivo imaging of bone and joints: a window to microarchitecture

Imaging is essential to the evaluation of bone and joint diseases, and the digital era has contributed to an exponential increase in the number of publications on noninvasive analytical techniques for the quantification of changes to bone and joints that occur in health and in disease. One such technique is high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT), which has introduced a new dimension in the imaging of bone and joints by providing...
