Canal-to-Bone Ratio as an Independent Predictor of Hip Bone Mineral Density Scores: A Retrospective Analysis

Canal-to-bone ratio shows a strong, independent association with hip BMD. As a simple metric obtainable from routine radiographs, CBR may serve as a surrogate marker of hip bone quality and fracture risk, particularly in settings with limited DXA access.
