Vascular channels in metacarpophalangeal joints: a comparative histologic and high-resolution imaging study

Abstract We evaluated whether cortical interruptions classified as vascular channel (VC) on high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) could be confirmed by histology. We subsequently evaluated the image characteristics of histologically identified VCs on matched single an...
