Abstract

Increases in cortical porosity (Ct.Po) and decreases in cortical thickness (Ct.Th) are associated with increased bone fragility. The purpose of this study was to validate an autosegmentation method for high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) scans to measure Ct.Po and Ct.Th and use it to compare Ct.Po and Ct.Th between pre- and postmenopausal women with normal, osteopenic, and osteoporotic areal bone mineral density (aBMD). The Ct.Po and Ct.Th measurements were validated using cadaver forearms (n = 10) and micro-computed tomography (µCT) as the gold standard. The analysis was applied to distal radius and tibia HR-pQCT scans from a subset of participants from the Calgary, Alberta, cohort of the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (n = 280, 18 to 90 years). Analysis of covariance compared Ct.Po and Ct.Th outcomes between 63 normal premenopausal (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry femoral neck T-score > −1), 87 normal postmenopausal, 121 osteopenic postmenopausal, and 9 osteoporotic postmenopausal women. Linear regression analysis and Bland-Altman plots were used to assess the agreement between the HR-pQCT and µCT measurements, resulting in r2 values of 0.80 for Ct.Po and 0.98 for Ct.Th. At both sites, Ct.Po was higher in postmenopausal (all groups) than in premenopausal women (3.2% to 12.9%, p < .001). Ct.Th was not significantly different between normal premenopausal and postmenopausal women at either site; however, both osteopenic and osteoporotic women had thinner (−12.8% to −30.3%, p < .01), more porous (2.1% to 8.1%, p < .001) cortices than normal postmenopausal women. Our method offers promise as a valuable tool to measure Ct.Po and Ct.Th in vivo and investigate associations among cortical bone structure, age, and disease status. © 2010 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
