Abstract:
Described herein are methods for analyzing bone structure and/or bone density, methods for estimating fracture risk in a subject as well as methods for monitoring the efficacy of an agent on bone structure and/or bone density.
Abstract:
Methods of predicting fracture risk of a patient include: obtaining an image of a bone of the patient; determining one or more bone structure parameters; predicting a fracture line with the bone structure parameter; predicting a fracture load at which a fracture will happen; estimating body habitus of the patient; calculating a peak impact force on the bone when the patient falls; and predicting a fracture risk by calculating the ratio between the peak impact force and the fracture load. Inventive methods also includes determining the effect of a candidate agent on any subject's risk of fracture.

Abstract:
This invention is directed to methods of predicting bone or joint disease in a subject. The invention is also directed to methods of determining the effect of a candidate agent on any subject's risk of developing bone or joint disease.
Abstract:
Methods of predicting bone or joint disease in a subject are presented. The method may include determining one or more micro-structural parameters, one or more macroanatomical parameters or biomechanical parameters of a joint in the subject. At least two of the parameters are combined to predict the risk of bone or articular disease. Additionally, methods of determining the effect of a candidate agent on any subject's risk of developing bone or joint disease are presented.
