TL;DR: It is concluded that high‐resolution 3D‐pQCT has the potential to detect structural changes in trabecular bone during therapeutic and diagnostic trials.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the ability of ultrasound to reflect aspects of trabecular structure is strongly dependent on the direction in which ultrasonic measurements are made, and provide only qualified support for the hypothesis that ultrasound reflects cancellous bone structure independently of bone density.

TL;DR: The results showed a strong resolution dependency of the structural properties of three-dimensional trabecular bone and that, if very precise results are needed, only the highest resolution will predict the correct values.

TL;DR: A novel microcomputed tomograph designed to longitudinally and noninvasively monitor bone alterations in hindlimb‐unloaded female rats at a resolution of 26 μm has a potential to detect three‐dimensional trabecular microarchitectural changes induced by growth and unloading.

TL;DR: These data show modest but significant density‐independent relationships between QUS and trabecular architecture in the human calcaneus for the first time, but the causal relationships behind the variation in acoustic properties remain obscure.
