“…According to the guidelines of the National Osteoporosis Foundation, the indications for DEXA examination are: (a) women 65 years old and men 70 years and older, (b) postmenopausal women and men over 50 who have suffered bone fractures, and (c) adults who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis or use medications such as glucocorticoids and have low bone mass [2,3,11]. However, DEXA scans do not give any information regarding the bone microarchitecture and mechanical properties, which are also crucial factors in bone resistance to fracture [12,13]. To obtain these factors, other non-invasive methods such as conventional radiology, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound have been investigated [14,15].…”
