Bone Mineral Assessment of the Axial Skeleton: Technical Aspects
The goal of this chapter is to describe the underlying principles and error sources associated with X-ray based bone densitometry methods used to assess the central skeleton. The first portion of the chapter focuses on projectional densitometry measurements which are most widely used in the clinical setting. The concepts of single and dual photon absorptiometry are used to provide a simple and ...
متن کاملAssessment of Bone Mineral Status in Children With Marfan Syndrome
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder with skeletal involvement. It is caused by mutations in fibrillin1 (FBN1) gene resulting in activation of TGF-β, which developmentally regulates bone mass and matrix properties. There is no consensus regarding bone mineralization in children with MFS. Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), we evaluated bone mineral...

متن کاملBone mineral densities in normal Bangladeshi women
fracture. Several chronic medical conditions, medications, and life style factors affect bone mineral accrual. This study aims to evaluate the bone mineral densities and hip axis lengths in the local population. Materials and Methods: 336 normal Bangladeshi women age ranges 20 to 70 years had evaluation of their bone mineral densities (BMDs) by means of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results:...
متن کاملBone Mineral Quality
The main function of bone is to promote locomotion and protection of vital organs. Bone is also an important mineral ions reservoir, essential to maintain phosphocalcic homeostasis. Bone mineral is a calcium phosphate named “apatite”, which form naturally in the Earth’s crust (Wopenka & Pasteris 2005). Compared to others minerals, apatite is more “tolerant” and is very accommodating to chemical...
