Current Osteoporosis Reports, 09/11/09
Brussel MSV et al. – Low bone mineral density and the presence of vertebral fractures are independent predictors for future vertebral and non–vertebral fractures. Combining the conventional measurement of bone mineral density of spine and hips with the morphometry of the thoracal and lumbar vertebrae on lateral images using dual energy x–ray absorptiometry scanners, a technique called vertebral fracture assessment, facilitates detection of vertebral fractures in those patients at older age and with clinical risk factors for osteoporosis.
