Abstract
The material properties of our bones are crucial factors in their risk to fracture. With osteoporosis, bone strength is reduced due to a loss of bone mass and a diminution of structural integrity. Bone mass can be assessed easily and precisely. For this reason prediction of bone fracture risk is nowadays merely based on bone mineral density measurements. Bone mineral density alone, however, does not suffice to predict bone fracture risk for individual patients.1-3Improved risk prediction should include bone structure as well.4-8
