Increases in cortical porosity (Ct.Po) and decreases in cortical thickness (Ct Th) are associated with increased bone fragility The purpose of this study was to validate an autosegmentation method for high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) scans to measure Ct Po and Ct Th and use it to compare Ct.Po and Ct.Th between pre- and postmenopausal women with normal, osteopenic, and osteoporotic areal bone mineral density (aBMD) The Ct.Po and Ct Th measurements were validated using cadaver forearms (n = 10) and micro-computed tomography (mu CT) as the gold standard. The analysis was applied to distal radius and tibia HR-pQCT scans from a subset of participants from the Calgary, Alberta, cohort of the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (n = 280, 18 to 90 years). Analysis of covariance compared Ct Po and Ct Th outcomes between 63 normal premenopausal (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry femoral neck T-score > -1), 87 normal postmenopausal, 121 osteopenic postmenopausal, and 9 osteoporotic postmenopausal women Linear regression analysis and Bland-Altman plots were used to assess the agreement between the HR-pQCT and mu CT measurements, resulting in r(2) values of 080 for Ct Po and 0.98 for Ct Th At both sites, Ct Po was higher in postmenopausal (all groups) than in premenopausal women (3 2% to 12 9%, p < 001) Ct.Th was not significantly different between normal premenopausal and postmenopausal women at either site; however, both osteopenic and osteoporotic women had thinner (-12.8% to -30 3%, p < 01), more porous (2.1% to 8.1%, p < 001) cortices than normal postmenopausal women Our method offers promise as a valuable tool to measure Ct Po and Ct Th in vivo and investigate associations among cortical bone structure, age, and disease status.
