Developing an effective and robust system for deepening our understanding of the characteristics of the tissue, structure, mechanical properties and organization of bone at the level of the nanoscale, ...

Scientists at PSI refined an X-ray diffraction technique that maps bone structure from nanometres to millimetres in about an ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown substructure in bone tissue using a new X-ray technique to produce 3D images of the internal structure of bones. The discovery potentially questions ...

Osteoporosis and osteopenia, a precursor to osteoporosis, can easily be detected through the use of a scan called dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, or DXA. The test is recommended for women 65 and ...

Doctors have been baffled by a series of radiographs showing the mysterious disappearance of a woman's arm bones over the course of more than a year. Writing in BMJ Case Reports, doctors from the ...
