The proposal that a scoring system of the radiographic trabecular patterns of the os calcis could be related to degree of osteoporosis was tested. The technique fails as it showed no correlation with actual bone density determined by a Compton scatter technique and because of a low level of observer concordance. Possible reasons for the poor performance of the index developed in India when applied to North Americans are discussed.
关于跟骨放射学小梁模式评分系统可能与骨质疏松程度相关的提议进行了测试。该技术未成功，因为它与通过康普顿散射技术测定的实际骨密度没有相关性，并且观察者之间的一致性水平较低。讨论了印度开发的指数应用于北美人时表现不佳的可能原因。
