This study provides a simple method to detect human distal radius bone density based on near infrared (NIR) imaging. The information of bone mineral density can be measured by transluminational optical bone densitometric system. Compared to dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) results in clinical trial, NIR images show a strong correlation to DXA. Further details can be found in the article by Chun Chung, Yu‐Pin Chen, Tsai‐Hsueh Leu, and Chia‐Wei Sun ( e201700342 ).
