Resumo |
The primary clinical role of the non-invasive physical measurement of a bone, generally referred to as ‘bone densitometry,’ is to identify those subjects at risk of an osteoporotic fracture and their subsequent response to pharmaceutical intervention. The true ‘gold standard’ measurement of the mechanical integrity of a bone, and hence its fracture load, is a destructive test, generally performed by compressing either a regular shaped sample or whole bone. |
