The primary objective of the study is to explore the relationship between a new image technology (ImaTx), that analyzes the trabecular structure of the bone using digitized radiographs and the bone mineral density (BMD) measured by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) in the lumbar spine of postmenopausal (PM) women with osteoporosis (OP) after treatment with PTH (1-84).

Correlation coefficient between the percentage of increase in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) obtained by DXA in the lumbar spine and in Trabecular Fragment Length (TFL) obtained by ImaTx in digitised radiographs of lumbar spine from baseline to EOT
Time frame: 72 weeks
BMD obtained by DXA in the lumbar spine (DXA SPI BMD). Two measurements will be determined: Mean value (g/cm2) and percentage of increase at EOT versus baseline (%).
Time frame: 72 weeks
