Can geometry-based parameters from pQCT and material parameters from quantitative ultrasound (QUS) improve the prediction of radial bone strength over that by bone mass (DXA)?

The diagnosis of osteoporosis is generally based on the assessment of bone mineral content with dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) but does not account for the spatial distribution and inherent material properties of the tissue. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) permits one to measure...
