Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if a new test for osteoporosis can be useful in monitoring treatment. We are studying a new method for examining the quality of bone by an experimental method of computerized analysis of radiographic images (x-ray pictures) of the heel.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • The study will enroll 40 postmenopausal women with a T score < -2 either at the lumbar spine or the femoral neck: 20 who decide to begin anti-resorptive therapy (treated group), and 20 women who decline such therapy (control group). We will attempt to match the patients and the controls for T score (within 0.3) and age (within 5 years).
  • All study participants will be:
  • at least 3 years past the last menstrual period,
  • not on HRT, Raloxifene or calcitonin for at least 6 months.

Exclusion Criteria

  • All study participants will not be on bisphosphonates during the previous 12 months.
  • Women with secondary causes of osteoporosis will be excluded.
