Are DXA/aBMD and QCT/FEA Stiffness and Strength Estimates Sensitive to Sex and Age?

Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures areal bone mineral density (aBMD) by simplifying a complex 3D bone structure to a 2D projection and is not equally effective for explaining fracture strength in women and men. Unlike DXA, subject-specific quantitative computed tomography-based finite element...
