Abstract

Bone void is a novel intuitive morphological indicator to assess bone quality but its use in vertebrae has not been described. This cross-sectional and multi-center study aimed to investigate the distribution of bone voids in the thoracolumbar spine in Chinese adults based on quantitative computed tomography (QCT). A bone void was defined as a trabecular net region with extremely low bone mineral density (BMD) (<40 mg/cm3), detected by an algorithm based on phantom-less technology. A total of 464 vertebrae from 152 patients (51.8 +/- 13.4 years old) were included. The vertebral trabecular bone was divided into eight sections based on the middle sagittal, coronal, and horizontal planes. Bone void of the whole vertebra and each section were compared between healthy, osteopenia, and osteoporosis groups and between spine levels. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted and optimum cutoff points of void volume between the groups were obtained. The total void volumes of the whole vertebra were 124.3 +/- 221.5 mm3, 1256.7 +/- 928.7 mm3, and 5624.6 +/- 3217.7 mm3 in healthy, osteopenia, and osteoporosis groups, respectively. The detection rate of vertebrae with bone voids was higher and the normalized void volume was larger in the lumbar than in thoracic vertebrae. L3 presented the largest void (2165.0 +/- 3396.0 mm3), while T12 had the smallest void (448.9 +/- 699.4 mm3). The bone void was mainly located in the superior-posterior-right section (40.8 %). Additionally, bone void correlated positively with age and increased rapidly after 55 years. The most significant void volume increase was found in the inferior-anterior-right section whereas the least increase was found in the inferior-posterior-left section with aging. The cutoff points were 345.1 mm3 between healthy and osteopenia groups (sensitivity = 0.923, specificity = 0.932) and 1693.4 mm3 between osteopenia and osteoporosis groups (sensitivity = 1.000, specificity = 0.897). In conclusion, this study demonstrated the bone void distribution in vertebrae using clinical QCT data. The findings provide a new perspective for the description of bone quality and showed that bone void could guide clinical practice such as osteoporosis screening.
