Figure 5.
Anterior, posterior, and coronal cross-sectional views of T-maps showing regions of the proximal femur where local shape was significantly associated with age (A and B; Aging Study) or incident hip fracture (C and D; Fracture Study). Consistency was found between the Tmaps in A and B, which were computed based on the comparisons of the middle-age and older subgroups, respectively, with the young subgroup. The views of the T-maps shown in C and D, which was computed based on the comparison between fracture and control women, show focal regions significantly associated with incident hip fracture. The color scale in A, B and C was based on the dynamic range of the comparison in B. The color scale in D was based on the dynamic range of the comparison in C-D. Transparency was applied to each voxel based on its T-value.
