The bone density of many people decreases as they get older. This process, which is known as osteoporosis, often goes unnoticed, even if there are fractures to the vertebral bodies. These fractures could be detected by means of X-rays or computed tomography (CT), but this does not always occur. For example, because the CT is done for a different reason, a vertebral fracture can be overlooked in the stress of everyday life in the clinic.

Key Points: Weight Bearing (WB) radiographs are limited by 1) their 2D nature and 2) knee positioning. X-Ray (XR) beam angle differs by person and can be unreliable. Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) imaging provides three dimensional (3D) images of the knee compartment that could allow for earlier detection of osteoarthritis (OA). WBCT allows for additional measurements to aid in a more reliable diagnosis of OA.
