Scout acquisition is used to define the HR-pQCT scan region for (A) the distal radius and (B) the distal tibia. The solid green region corresponds to the imaging location and consists of 110 slices spanning 9.02 mm longitudinally. In the radius the scan region is fixed 9.5 mm proximal from the midjoint line, while in the tibia the scan region is 22.5 mm proximal from the tibial plafond. HR-pQCT = high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT.
