Bone histomorphometry techniques

Bone histomorphometry is a laboratory method used to analyze bone tissue under a microscope. It involves taking a small sample of bone, often from a biopsy, and preparing it with special stains. Using precise imaging techniques, scientists measure various parameters such as bone formation rate, the amount of new bone, and the activity of bone cells. This helps in understanding bone health, diagnosing diseases like osteoporosis, and evaluating treatments. The process provides detailed insight into bone dynamics, combining microscopy with specialized software to quantify changes in bone structure and metabolism over time.
