In vivo structural analysis of subchondral trabecular bone in osteoarthritis of the hip using multi-detector row CT.

摘要

With developments in clinical computed tomography (CT), in vivo analysis of patients' bone microstructure has become increasingly possible. We analyzed the subchondral trabecular bone of hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients using multi-detector row CT (MDCT) to closely examine the structural changes that occur as OA progresses.
