The application of ICON reduced random overestimation bias to about 50 μm and 20 μm for QCT and HR-QCT, respectively, leading to a recovery of a significant correlation with the reference data of HR-pQCT. This reveals the potential for fairly accurate assessment of cortical thickness, allowing to better characterize cortical mechanical competence. These results warrant testing of the performance in vivo.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bone.2018.08.024} (DOI).
