Study of DXA-derived lateral–medial cortical bone thickness in assessing hip fracture risk

The currently available clinical tools have limited accuracy in predicting hip fracture risk in individuals. We investigated the possibility of using normalized cortical bone thickness (NCBT) estimated from the patient's hip DXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) as an alternative predictor of...
