Considering that RBL and relRBL had similar intra - and inter-examiner reliability, these results added to the notion that the indirect registration technique (relRBL) appeared to be a more reliable measure of bone loss than the direct registration technique (RBL).
These scaffolds with a porosity gradient that better mimics the microstructure of human long bone could provide more reliable implants for structural bone repair.
CT scans and 3D VR images are more reliable in assessing postoperative bone tunnel placement following ACL reconstruction than standard radiographs.
Considering that states of dental mineralization are much less affected by environmental [ 2, 11, 46] and hormonal [ 2, 23, 28] variations than states of bone mineralization, dental development provides more reliable indications of chronological age than bone development [ 2, 13, 30].
Lifting the sinus floor with autologous bone is more reliable than with tissue-engineered transplants.
Computed tomography (CT) scans, on the other hand, provide a more reliable and detailed assessment of glenoid bone deficiency, and have become essential during preoperative planning.
Stores of lead in bone are a more reliable marker of cumulative lead exposure.
Studies do, however, suggest that bone scans are more reliable than skeletal surveys for RMS[ 44 ].
The method involving the assessment of the external changes of bones is probably more reliable than others, even though it is less objective.
Now that we have a greater understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of hyperphosphataemia, our focus can shift to identifying more reliable diagnostic markers of mineral- and bone-related disorders and more specific treatments to improve patients' clinical outcomes and their QoL.
