An understanding of normal microarchitectural bone development patterns of common murine models is needed. Longitudinal, structural, and mineralization trends were evaluated by in vivo CT over 12 time points from 6-48 wk of age at the vertebra and tibia of C3H/HeN, C57BL/6, and BALB/C mice. Longitudinal growth occurred rapidly until 8-10 wk, slowed as the growth plate bridged, and fused at 8-10 mo. Structural augmentation occurred through formation of trabeculae at the growth plate and thickening of existing ones. In the vertebrae, BV/TV increased rapidly until 12 wk in all strains. Between 12 and 32 wk, the architecture was stable with BV/TV deviating <1.1%, 1.6%, and 3.4% for the C57BL/6, BALB/C, and C3H/ HeN mice. In contrast, the tibial architecture changed continuously but more moderately for BV/TV and TbTh compared with the vertebra and with comparable or larger changes for TbN and TbSp. Age-related trabecular deterioration (decreased BV/TV and TbN; increased TbSp and structure model index) was evident at both sites at 32 wk. In all strains, the cortex continued to develop after trabecular values peaked. The temporal plateau of BMD was variable across mouse strains and site, whereas tissue mineral density was attained at ∼6 mo for all sites and strains. Geometric changes at the tibial diaphysis occurred rapidly until 8-10 wk, providing the C57BL/6 mice and C3H/HeN mice with the highest torsional and compressive rigidity, respectively. In summary, key skeletal development milestones were identified, and architectural topology at the vertebra was found to be more stable than at the tibia.

“…In addition to the practical advantages, a measurement of ultrasonic properties should in theory be directly related to the material properties of bone, thus providing a non-invasive measurement of bone structure or quality beyond that obtainable from a density measurement alone. Since the outcome of BMD measurements is accepted by the WHO as the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, it is useful to compare QUS with BMD [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] .…”

“…18,19 This finding is not unambiguous, as later surveys have found a higher BMD value in the non-dominant heel. 8,20 In conclusion in post-menopausal women over 60 years of age, a positive correlation between BMD in the heel measured with DXL and the PI obtained from digital intraoral periapical images of the mandible was found. This correlation was more pronounced in the 70-74 year age group.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between pixel intensity (PI) in digital radiographs of the lower jaw and bone mineral density (BMD) in the heels of post-menopausal women (as measured with DXL, a combination of dual energy Xray absorptiometry and lasers). Methods: Two intraoral periapical digital radiographs were taken in the right and left mandible premolar region, and the digital images were analysed by a computer program (Dimaxis) regarding PI. As the radiographs were taken, the BMD of the patient's left heel was measured via a portable Calscan device. The patient answered a questionnaire concerning risk factors. The correlation between variables was analysed using statistical tests. Results: A significant correlation was found between the PI in the left (P 5 0.001) and right (P 5 0.004) mandible and the BMD of the left heel for the whole group. A pronounced correlation was found to exist for women . 70 years old. Based on a cut-off value of the PI, to differentiate between healthy individuals and those who required further analysis for osteoporosis, the following values were obtained: sensitivity 0.74, specificity 0.50, positive predictive value 0.77 and negative predictive value 0.46. Conclusion: A positive correlation was found between PI in digital radiographs of the mandible and the BMD of the heel. The low predictive value does not allow any definite conclusions to be drawn from the present study. A reasonable recommendation could be for future studies to employ a larger study population to explore the effect on this value.
