HR-pQCT cross-calibration using standard vs. Laplace-Hamming binarization approach.

ABSTRACT: High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) has emerged as a powerful imaging technique for characterizing bone microarchitecture in the human peripheral skeleton. The second-generation HR-pQCT scanner provides improved spatial resolution and a shorter scan time. However, the transition from the first-generation (XCTI) to second-generation HR-pQCT scanners (XCTII) poses challenges for longitudinal studies, multi-center trials, and comparison to historical data. Cross-calibration, an established approach for determining relationships between measurements obtained from different devices, can bridge this gap and enable the utilization and comparison of legacy data. The goal of this study was to establish cross-calibration equations to estimate XCTII measurements from
