The most important modality for measuring bone mineral density (BMD), on which every<unk>  diagnostic and therapeutic decision is based on, is dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). DEXA is a 2-dimensional image of a 3-dimensional subject, mainly depends on the size of the bone which is studied. DEXA is the gold standard for the diagnosis of<unk>  and fracture risk assessment. Finite element modeling (FEM) is an engineering computer-based simulation software that typically simulates the physical loading effects on materials. The effects may be strain or compression, while the subject is determined as net-like elements connected to each other. BMD is focused on density and does not imply for microstructure or architecture of bones. One of the most powerful methods to determine the microstructure is trabecular bone score (TBS) as a complementary method for DEXA.
