Predicting cortical bone strength from DXA and dental cone-beam CT.

<h4>Objective</h4>This study compared the capabilities of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for predicting the cortical bone strength of rat femurs and tibias.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>Specimens of femurs and tibias obt...
