Estimating bone mass in children: can bone health index replace dual energy x-ray absorptiometry?

BACKGROUND: Bisphosphonates have been shown to increase metacarpal cortical width. Bone health index is computed from hand radiographs by measuring cortical thickness, width and length of the three middle metacarpals, and may potentially help predict fracture risk in children. OBJECTIVE: To compare...
