This is a graduate level course designed for those interested in advanced bone imaging and health research in Kinesiology, Engineering and Health Sciences. The purpose is to provide graduate students with interactions and experiences that include: reading, interpretation, acquisition, analysis, critical evaluation, and discussion of bone imaged data obtained with high resolution peripheral computed tomography (HRpQCT). Students will have an opportunity to apply obtained skills when presenting and discussing findings from previous research related to bone health using HR-pQCT. Students will also apply these skills while analyzing and interpreting HR-pQCT image data previously collected in our lab. The course will introduce core concepts related to radiation safety, technical issues in data acquisition and analysis, and validity of bone micro-architectural assessment in bone health research relevant to Kinesiology and Health Sciences. Permission of the instructor is required.
