HISTORY
The 24th International Workshop on Quantitative Musculoskeletal Imaging (QMSKI) is a seamless continuation of the longstanding International Bone Densitometry Workshop that has been running since 1979. The new name was introduced in 2019 is designed to reflect the changing scope of MSK research, and will carry the torch to what has been a fantastically successful workshop that over the past decades has spanned the development of many new technologies and scientific findings related to skeletal health. These specifically include technologies such as SPA/SXA, DPA/DXA/VXA, QCT/vQCT/HRCT, pQCT/HRpQCT, µCT, Photon Counting CT, QUS, MRI/QMR, FEA/µFEA. These applications have been established to measure BMD, BMC, Macrostructure, Microstructure, and Bone Strength, all towards improving the skeletal health of people.
