Premenopausal amenorrheic women may be at risk for the development of osteoporosis. In
hyperprolactinemia, cortical bone mass is decreased and the magnitude of the decrease …

Although several case-control studies have shown an inverse association between
postmenopausal estrogen use and fractures, quantitation of fracture incidence has been lacking. To …

The correlation between bone mineral density and vertebral strength is not based on
mechanical principles and thus the method cannot reflect the effects of subtle geometric features …

A precise method of measuring Vertebral mineral content by computed tomography has been
developed Calibration phantoms scanned with patients are used to provide corrections for …

To clarify the role of the intestine, kidney, and bone in maintaining calcium homeostasis during
pregnancy and lactation and after the resumption of menses, a longitudinal comparison …

We assessed serially the bone mineral loss in 37 premenopausal women for 24 months
after oophorectomy and determined the dose-response for conjugated estrogen therapy in …

Bone mass was measured prospectively in 73 women during the period immediately after
menopause. By comparing the rates of loss at three skeletal sites, we assessed the protective …

One of the major uses of quantitative computed tomography (CT) has been the measurement
of bone mineral density (BMD) at various skeletal sites. The published literature on this …

This study was to determine if the diameters of pulmonary arteries measured from computed
tomographic (CT) scans could be used 1) as indicators of pulmonary artery hypertension …

Three-dimensional quantitative computed tomographic (QCT) studies of the lumbar spine
were extended with finite element analysis (FEA) to include bone distribution in assessment of …
