trabecular parameters

Trabecular parameters describe the structure of the spongy bone inside our bones. These include measurements like trabecular thickness (how thick the tiny bone rods are), number (how many there are), and spacing (the gaps between them). These features affect bone strength and health; for example, thicker and more closely packed trabeculae generally mean stronger bones, while thinning or increased gaps can indicate weakening or osteoporosis. Analyzing these parameters helps in diagnosing bone diseases and assessing fracture risk, providing valuable insights into bone quality beyond just density.
