Longitudinal Changes in Porosity Parameters Calculated Using Standard and Baseline Mapping Techniques at the Distal Radius (All Participants Pooled, n = 37)
| Parameter | Relative change without baseline mapping (%) |
Relative change with baseline mapping (%) |
p Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ct.Th | −2.94 ± 4.53 | 1.17 ± 6.22 | 0.002 |
| Ct.Po.V | 10.32 ± 32.64 | 14.84 ± 32.54 | 0.10 |
| Ct.Po | 12.88 ± 32.52 | 18.09 ± 40.72 | 0.48 |
| Po.Dm | 3.87 ± 9.77 | 6.15 ± 9.67 | 0.13 |
| Po.Dm.SD | 5.00 ± 19.79 | 11.63 ± 22.34 | 0.08 |
Ct.Th = cortical thickness (mm); Ct.Po.V = cortical pore volume (mm3); Ct.Po = cortical porosity (unitless ratio); Po.Dm = mean cortical pore diameter (mm); Po.Dm.SD = SD of mean cortical pore diameter (mm).
The p value represents difference between relative change calculations.
