## Abstract High‐resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR‐pQCT) is a new in vivo imaging technique for assessing 3D microstructure of cortical and trabecular bone at the distal radius and tibia. No studies have investigated the extent to which measurements of the peripheral skelet
