Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown substructure in bone tissue using a new X-ray technique to produce 3D images of the internal structure of bones. The discovery potentially questions ...

From athletes to individuals suffering from osteoporosis, bone fractures are usually the result of tiny cracks accumulating over time—invisible rivulets of damage that, when coalesced, lead to that ...

Osteoporosis and osteopenia, a precursor to osteoporosis, can easily be detected through the use of a scan called dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, or DXA. The test is recommended for women 65 and ...

With the development of L X-ray fluorescence (LXRF) to measure cortical bone lead directly, safely, rapidly, and noninvasively, the present study was undertaken to α) evaluate LXRF as a possible ...

An international research team has used new X-ray techniques to describe how the architecture of healthy human bones is built up. The team has uncovered a hitherto unknown structure in healthy bones.
