Abstract excerpt
Bone mineral density (BMD) contributes to bone strength, and methods for clinical assessment of bone quality characteristics beyond what can be gathered by BMD are awaited. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) allows for separate assessments of cortical and trabecular bone, providing information on bone geometry. Previous studies examining the relationship between estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)...
