Abstract
Measurement by an image analysing computer of two parameters indicating the amount of bone tissue in transfixing iliac biopsies has been performed in 34 osteoporotic females having at least one crush vertebral fracture and in a normal population of 25 females. The comparison of both groups has shown that the percentage of bone tissue in the spongy space (trabecular bone volume) gives a much better indication of osteoporosis than the percentage of bone tissue between periosteal surfaces which takes into account the amount of both cortical and trabecular bone (total bone density).
