Validation of two-dimensional vertebral body parameters in estimating patient height in elderly patients.

CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate an important relationship between measurements of the patient's height and the vertebral body. This can be utilised in future research when the patient's height has not been measured.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: In the absence of the patient's height, we demonstrate that two-dimensional vertebral body parameters may be reliably used to standardise morphometric measurements.
