Abstract

M. Osteaux and O. Louis Numerous techniques are currently available for evaluation of bone mineral status (Faulkner et al. 1991). These modalities are used to assess the risk of osteoporotic fracture at key skeletal sites, classically the spine, hip, or wrist. However, determination of calcium density alone is clearly not always sufficient. Owing to the overlap in bone density values in patients with osteoporotic fractures and in osteoporotic individuals without fracture, research has been directed at development of techniques capable of analyzing cortical and trabecular bone architecture. The following brief description of the various techniques highlights the advantages of each method. Particular attention is paid to those techniques allowing analysis of bone structure.
