Table 3 Parameters of bone microarchitecture

From: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial to investigate the effects of nasal calcitonin on bone microarchitecture measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computerized tomography in postmenopausal women — Study protocol

Bone densities

• cortical bone density (Dcort; mgHA/cm3)

• trabecular bone density (Dtrab; mgHA/cm3)

• meta trabecular bone density (Dmeta; mgHA/cm3)

• inner trabecular bone density (Dinn; mgHA/cm3)

• average bone density (Dtot; mgHA/cm3)

Bone structure

• trabecular bone volume to tissue volume (BV/TV; %)

• number of trabeculae (Tb.N; mm-1)

• trabecular thickness (Tb.Th; μ m)

• trabecular separation (Tb. Sp; μ m)

• cortical thickness (C.Th; μ m)

• index of the inhomogeneity of the network (Tb.1/N.SD)

• cross-sectional area (CSA; mm2)
