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, ...

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 ...

Scientists at PSI refined an X-ray diffraction technique that maps bone structure from nanometres to millimetres in about an hour, revealing collagen fibre alignment and enabling faster research on ...

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 ...

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 ...

Presently, if someone has been involved in a potentially bone-breaking mishap, they have to be X-rayed by trained staff at a hospital. Soon, however, it may be possible for them to perform their own X ...

Human skeletons are often described in neat textbook numbers, but real bodies are far messier and more interesting. Extra bones, tiny or substantial, are scattered through the population, quietly ...

An international research team has used new X-ray techniques to describe how the architecture of healthy human bones is built up. The team has uncovered a hitherto unknown structure in healthy bones.
