Bone volume fraction

Bone volume fraction is a measurement that indicates how much of a bone's total space is made up of solid bone tissue versus empty space or marrow. It’s expressed as a percentage, showing the proportion of bone material within a given area. A higher bone volume fraction means denser, stronger bone, while a lower fraction suggests less bone material, which could lead to weaker bones and increased fracture risk. This metric helps assess bone health, inflammation, or disease progression, providing valuable insights into the strength and integrity of skeletal tissue.
