BONE DENSITOMETRY OF MENOPAUSAL WOMEN IN TEHRAN
Using a cluster sampling method, a group of menopausal women from three geographic areas in Tehran were asked to participate in the study. Demographic data was obtained using a questionnaire. Subjects were than referred to perform bone mass densitometry (BMD). The relationship between various variables (i.e. age of menarche, number of years of endogenous estrogen exposure, ... ) with minera...
متن کاملPeripheral bone densitometry: Clinical applications.
Technologies for the measurement of bone mineral density and other parameters of bone strength at peripheral skeletal sites have been studied since the 1960s. Single-energy Photon Absorptiometry (SPA), Radiographic Absorptiometry (RA), Radiogrametry (RG), Single-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (SXA), Peripheral Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (pDXA), and Quantitative Ultrasonometry (QUS) have been...
متن کاملClinical Use of Bone Densitometry
densitometry devices. Many studies have shown a strong relationship between bone density at virtually any skeletal site and the subsequent risk for fractures of the spine, hip, and forearm.1 The exact strength of this relationship depends on the type of fracture and the skeletal site measured. In most cases, the relationship between bone density and fracture by analogy is as strong or stronger ...
متن کاملThe history of bone densitometry.
Bone densitometry (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry-DXA) is a vital medical tool needed for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in non-fractured patients; predicting future fracture risk; and monitoring bone mineral density (BMD) in untreated or treated patients. The history of the pivotal international society involved in the science and clinical interpretation of DXA, the International Society for ...
متن کاملClinical use of bone densitometry: scientific review.
CONTEXT Osteoporosis causes substantial morbidity and costs $13.8 billion annually in the United States. Measurement of bone mass by densitometry is a primary part of diagnosing osteoporosis and deciding a preventive treatment course. Bone mineral densitometry has become more widely available and commonly used in practice. OBJECTIVE To review evidence about the value of various clinical appli...
