Using 3D image registration to maximize the reproducibility of longitudinal bone strength assessment by HR-pQCT and finite element analysis

ConclusionAlthough 3D registration cannot negate motion artifacts, it plays an important role in detecting and reducing variability in FE estimates for longitudinal HR-pQCT data and is well suited for estimating effects of interventions in in vivo longitudinal studies of bone strength.
