Minimum percentage of cortical bone loss that should occur to be demonstrable in radiographic
1) 6.6 %
2) 13 %
3) 20 %
4) 30-40 %
Radiology
Answer: 2
Radiographic evidence of cortical bone loss typically becomes apparent when at least 13% of the bone height has been lost. This is because the density of the bone and the surrounding structures needs to be significantly altered to be detectable on an X-ray film.
