Fig. 3

Examples of cross-sectional reconstructions from UUD radius scans (distal view - left column) from two 47-year-old women who were RA and NRA matched study partners and MH3 scans (proximal view – right column) from two 22-year-old women who were RA and NRA matched study partners. The reconstructed images in the top row are from the RA participants and the reconstructed images in the bottom row are from the NRA participants. Images illustrate marked visual differences in trabecular bone microstructure between the RA and NRA participants. The 3-D reconstructions show the peripheral cortical region in lighter shading compared to the central trabecular region (darker shading)
