List of CT-derived trabecular bone measures examined in this paper. Nomenclatures of trabecular bone measures used by Bouxsein et al.67 and Chen et al.63 are followed here wherever possible.
Parameter (unit) | Description |
---|---|
Tb.NA (mm2/mm3) | Tb network area density, i.e., the average area of the medial surface of segmented bone per unit ROI |
Tb.Th (μm) | Mean trabecular thickness computed by star-line analysis68 |
Tb.Sp (μm) | Mean trabecular spacing, i.e., the space between trabecular microstructures computed by star-line analysis68 |
