The objectives of this study were: (i) to develop a standardized method of quantifying bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitecture in the hand and wrist bones of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using high resolution‐ peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR‐pQCT); (ii) to compare quantitative bone parameters between RA and post‐menopausal osteopenic (PM‐OP) subjects; and (iii) to correlate quantitative bone parameters at the distal radius with those at the metacarpal heads in RA subjects.
