Abstract
The aim of the current study was to provide normal reference values for the density of trabecular bone in the axial skeleton of male and female subjects from childhood to young adulthood. PurposeTo determine normative reference values for vertebral trabecular bone density (TBD) obtained by using quantitative computed tomography (CT) in healthy white children, teenagers, and young ad...Keywords
