Funded Activity Summary

This study will determine the contributions to vertebral body strength made by its structural and material properties. Using state-of-the-art computed-tomography scanners, digitised representations of vertebral bodies in three-dimensions will be produced, which enable measurement of bone structure. After strength testing of the vertebral bodies, the structural and material properties, which combine to predict vertebral body strength, will be identified in an aged population.
