| Abstract | Due to this limitation of using aBMD DXA in AS patients, new technics, as Trabecular Bone Score (TBS)4 and HR-pQCT5,6 show up as important alternatives to better assess bone quality in this patients, preventing them from having bone fractures. TBS is a parameter measured during the lumbar spine DXA scanning (iNsight Software) that excludes syndesmophytes and other ligamentous calcifications, giving a more reliable picture of bone impairment7. HRpQCT, in other hand, is a High Resolution peripheral Tomography that shows microarchitecture and biomechanical parameters of bone, analyzing distal radius and tibia8,9. |
