Discrimination of osteoporosis-related vertebral fractures by DXA-derived 3D measurements: a retrospective case-control study

ConclusionThis study showed the ability of cortical and trabecular measurements from DXA-derived 3D models to discriminate between fracture and control groups. Large cohorts need to be analyzed to determine if these measurements could improve fracture risk prediction in clinical practice.
