  1. Intra- and interreader reliability of HR-pQCT and μCT images based on 152 quadrants for HR-pQCT and 148 quadrants on μCT. Kappa value was calculated on the presence of a cortical break (yes/no) and ICC was calculated on the total number of cortical breaks in all quadrants
  2. Abbreviations: PABAK prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted kappa values, ICC intraclass correlation, HR-pQCT high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography, μCT microCT
