Stress-strain index

The stress-strain index (SSI), of a bone, is a surrogate measure of bone strength [cite journal | author = Ward K, Roberts S, Adams J, Mughal M | title = Bone geometry and density in the skeleton of pre-pubertal gymnasts and school children. | journal = Bone | volume = 36 | issue = 6 | pages = 1012–8 | year = 2005 | pmid = 15876561 | doi = 10.1016/j.bone.2005.03.001] determined from a cross-sectional scan by QCT or pQCT (radiological scan). The Stress-Strain Index is used to compare the strucural parameters determined by analysis of QCT/pQCT cross-sectional scans to the results of three point bending test.

Definition

$SSI = sum_{i=0}^n$ r_i^2 a (CD} over {ND)} over {r_{max}

Where:
*r_max is the distance of voxel from centre
*CD is the apparent cortical (bone) density
*ND is the normal (cortical bone) density
*r_i is the pixel position from the centre
*a is the area of a pixel

History and relation to moments of inertia

It was developed by the manufacturer of a peripheral quantitative CT (pQCT) scanner, and is considered to be by some an improvement over the information provided by calculating the area moments of inertia and polar moments of inertia.
