Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Conventional radiography can detect most fractures, evaluate their healing, and visualize characteristic skeletal abnormalities for some metabolic bone diseases. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used to measure areal bone mineral density (BMD) in order to diagnose osteoporosis, estimate fracture risk, and monitor changes in BMD over time. Vertebral fracture assessment by DXA can diagnose vertebral fractures with less ionizing radiation, greater patient convenience, and lower cost than conventional radiography. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) measures volumetric BMD separately in cortical and trabecular bone compartments. High resolution peripheral QCT and high resolution magnetic resonance imaging are noninvasive research tools that assess the microarchitecture of bone. The use of these technologies and others has been associated with special challenges in men compared with women, provided insights into differences in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis in men and women, and enhanced understanding of the mechanisms of action of osteoporosis treatments. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
