A prospective case–control pilot study to evaluate bone microarchitecture in children and teenagers on long-term parenteral nutrition using HR-pQCT

Abstract Long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) may induce bone complications. Tridimensional bone imaging techniques such as high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) allow the assessment of both compartmental volumetric densities and microarchitecture. Our aim was to evalu...
