Summary

The study aims to determine the efficacy and best methods for predicting hip fractures and diagnosing post-menopausal osteoporosis using three dimensional structural engineering models (SEMs) of proximal femoral bone produced using a Hologic Discovery duel-energy x-ray absorptiometry scanner and Hologic's new 3D Hip(TM) software in comparison to three dimensional SEMs produced using quantitative computed tomography - the current gold standard.
