Excessive bone loss can lead to the development of osteopenia and eventually osteoporosis. Osteoporosis affects women more than men, but is a debilitating disease for either sex. Osteoporosis is often a silent disease that doesn’t manifest itself until a fracture is sustained.

The vertebral arch is formed by the pedicles, which are attached to the posterior side of the vertebral body, and the lamina, which come together to form the top of the arch.

Similar to measuring blood pressure to predict the risk of stroke, a bone density measurement can help predict the risk of bone fracture. A T-score compares a person’s bone density to the average peak bone density of a healthy 30-year-old population of the same sex.

The vertebrae are divided into three regions: cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, and lumbar vertebrae.
