Over the past decades there has been remarkable progress in the development and application of non-invasive radiological methods for assessing the skeletal bone mass and status. It is possible to evaluate the peripheral or axial entire skeleton as well as the trabecular bone or cortical bone envelopes with a high degree of accuracy and precision, and with a reasonable capacity for determining bone strength and predicting fracture risk. Cross sectional imaging methods such as CT and MR yield significant advantages for these applications since they are the only techniques which allow for accurate three dimensional localization of tissue and for true isolation of the trabecular and the cortical bone compartment. Both methods can be applied to practically every anatomic location in the human body.
在过去几十年中，用于评估骨骼骨量和状况的非侵入性放射学方法的开发和应用取得了显著进展。可以高精度和高精准度地评估外周或中轴整个骨骼以及小梁骨或皮质骨包膜，并且具有合理的确定骨强度和预测骨折风险的能力。CT和MR等横断面成像方法在这些应用中具有显著优势，因为它们是唯一能够实现组织精确三维定位以及真正分离小梁骨和皮质骨腔室的技术。这两种方法几乎可以应用于人体的每个解剖部位。
