Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry-based body volume measurement for 4-compartment body composition.
BACKGROUND Total body volume (TBV), with the exclusion of internal air voids, is necessary to quantify body composition in Lohman's 4-compartment (4C) model. OBJECTIVE This investigation sought to derive a novel, TBV measure with the use of only dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) attenuation values for use in Lohman's 4C body composition model. DESIGN Pixel-specific masses and volumes w...
متن کاملDual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for the measurement of gross body composition in rats.
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a novel, non-invasive technique for the measurement of gross body composition in small animals. In the present study the absolute accuracy of the Hologic QDR-1000W scanner was assessed by comparison with direct analysis in twelve rats with a range of body fat and bone mineral content (BMC) values. Fat masses measured by DXA and petroleum-ether extractio...
متن کاملBedside methods versus dual energy X-ray absorptiometry for body composition measurement in COPD.
The measurement of body composition is of value in the nutritional assessment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of the present study was to compare two bedside methods for the measurement of body composition using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) as a reference method. Fat-free mass (FFM) was measured using DEXA, bioelectric impedance analysis (BI...
متن کاملComparison of Bone Mineral Density Measured by Dual X-ray, Axial Dual-energy Photon X-ray Absorptiometry and Laser Absorptiometry of Calcaneus
The objective of this study was to validate the use of bone mineral measurements of the calcaneus bone by dual X-ray and laser (DXL) in a cross-sectional study carried out in an osteoporosis clinic. Measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) at proximal femur and spine were obtained by dual-energy photon X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Osteoporosis was defined by a DEXA T-score <-2.5 at the femora...
متن کاملBody composition analysis by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in adults with cystic fibrosis.
Assessment of nutritional status is important in cystic fibrosis (CF). We performed body composition analysis by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 12 adults with CF, 7 of them with malnutrition as defined by percentage of ideal body weight (IBW) lower than 90. The DXA allowed for determination of bone body mass (BBM), lean body mass (LBM), and fat body mass (FBM). A deficit in BBM and L...
