HR-pQCT images of cases leading to discrepancies between readers in scoring.
Panel A: low density caused by low mineralization and/or thin cortex. Panel B: bone apposition. Panel C: multiple breaks belonging to one large break at the base of the phalanx. Abbrevations: HR-pQCT; high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography.
