Children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis display moderate bone microarchitecture abnormalities: data from high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography

摘要

We investigated whether bone microstructure assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative tomography (HR-pQCT) could be altered in children and teenagers with cystic fibrosis (CF). In comparison to their healthy counterparts, bone microstructure was mildly affected at the tibial level only.
