Abstract
The European Vertebral Osteoporosis Study (EVOS) is one of the largest studies to investigate the prevalence of osteoporosis related vertebral fractures in a population based cross-sectional study. One of the main tasks was to create standards and logistics to obtain uniform and comparable radiographs in all 36 European centers. Furthermore the central reading of the X-rays and the morphometry of the vertebral bodies were 2 important challenges. This paper describes the standardized patient positioning and making of the radiographs as well as their morphometry, reading, and evaluation.Entities:
