Comparison 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 کاملDual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry: Beyond Bone Mineral Density Determination
Significant improvements in dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) concerning quality, image resolution and image acquisition time have allowed the development of various functions. DXA can evaluate bone quality by indirect analysis of micro- and macro-architecture of the bone, which and improve the prediction of fracture risk. DXA can also detect existing fractures, such as vertebral fractures...

متن کاملDual X-Ray Photon Absorptiometry: Beyond the Bone Quantity?
Osteoporosis is a characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, with a consequent increase in bone fragility [1]. Bone strength impairment leads to an increased risk of fracture, as strenght reflects the integration of bone quantity (bone mineral density, BMD) and bone quality [2]. Common sites of osteoporotic fractures are spine, hip, distal forearm and proximal homerus....
متن کاملBone mineral measurement of phalanges: comparison of radiographic absorptiometry and area dual X-ray absorptiometry.
With a standard, image-intensifier-based, digital radiographic system, high-spatial-resolution images of the hand were acquired for analysis of phalangeal bone mineral density with dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results with phalangeal DXA had precision of plus or minus 0.67% and accuracy of 4.1% and correlated well with those with radiographic absorptiometry. This phalangeal DXA technique is...
