The role of patient-mode high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography indices in the prediction of failure strength of the elderly women’s thoracic vertebral body

Results: For the prediction of vertebral failure load, the inclusion of BV/TV into L1 aBMD was the best model (R2 = 0.52), Tb.N and Tb.Sp added significant information to the L1 aBMD and to the cortical BMD, but none of the vertebral microarchitectural parameters yielded additional significant information to the trabecular BMD (or BV/TV) and to the vertebral BMD.
