Beyond Bone Mineral Density: Detecting Changes in Fracture Risk in the Absence of Mineral Loss with the Mechanical Response Tissue Analyzer
The ability of current clinical tools to predict bone fractures is poor, likely because these tools focus on bone mass and mineral content and neglect bone quality and the collagen phase. The Mechanical Response Tissue Analyzer (MRTA) is an instrument that provides a non-invasive mechanical measurem...
