Bone morphometry from human peripheral quantitative computer tomography scans is preserved by virtual high-resolution image reconstruction

Schulte Friederike , Badilatti Sandro , Parkinson Ian , Goldhahn Jorg , Muller Ralph

Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is receiving considerable attention in the diagnosis and monitoring of human bone diseases. It is well accepted that lower image resolution compared to micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) affects bone morphometry. With advances in micro-CT evaluation techniques such as sample-specific remodeling simulations or dynamic bone morphometry, there is the potential to also allow the application of such techniques to clinical pQCT sc...
