A novel computed tomography-based algorithm for the quantitative identification of lumbar spine-localized trabecular bone loss in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Individuals with T2DM have more severe lumbar trabecular network injury despite a similar BMD to those without T2DM, and the effect of T2DM on LTBL is independent of age and BMD. LTBL may represent a promising imaging marker for detecting early microstructural deterioration in the bone of individuals with diabetes.
