Bone microarchitecture, density, and strength assessment in automotive trauma patients using HR-pQCT: a pilot study.
OBJECTIVE Automotive trauma patients enrolled in the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) typically undergo computed tomography (CT) imaging as part of emergency care. HR-pQCT is a noninvasive imaging technique that enables assessment of bone microarchitecture at the peripheral sites. CT and HR-pQCT ca...
