Evidence suggests that both bone mineral density and bone quality should be taken into account when assessing bone strength and fracture risk. Bone quality is a multifactor entity, of which bone architecture and material properties are two important components. Matrix mineralization, hydroxyapatite characteristics, and collagen cross-link ratio are key determinants of material properties. Fourier transform infrared imaging (FTIRI) yields data on these characteristics from bone sections.
