"The measured maximum compressive force and stress of lumbar vertebral bodies from cynomolgus monkeys were compared with peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) derived densitometric and morphologic vertebral parameters. To determine, which pQCT parameters were predictive of vertebral mechanical behavior, and of these, identify those that were the best predictors of vertebral load capacity," scientists in Waterloo, Canada report.
"A secondary objective was to test the suitability of a multiple parameter-based approach for predicting vertebral mechanical load response. Noninvasive methods for identifying and diagnosing changes in skeletal load tolerance are...
