Figure 2.

Representative reconstructions of high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography images from young, middle-aged, and elderly men (left) and women (right). Values for trabecular microstructural variables for each subject are also provided. The arrow indicates the prominent plate-like trabeculae in the young man, which are less prominent or absent in the other images. Images were obtained using the initial prototype of the HR-pQCT scanner. (Figure is reprinted with permission from Khosla et al. [8] ^©2006 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research).
