- scurvy
- Caffey disease (infantile cortical hyperostosis)
- abnormal bone metabolism
- disordered bone growth
- heavy metal poisoning (bismuth, lead, thorium)
- hypervitaminosis D
- Thorotrast (ghost vertebrae)
- ionizing radiation
- radiation injury
- radiotherapy
- subcortical osteopenia
- leukemia, metastases
