Bone Mineral Measurements.
The accurate measurement of bone mineral density using noninvasive methods can be of value in the detection and evaluation of primary and secondary causes of decreased bone mass. This includes primary osteoporosis and secondary disorders, such as hyperparathyroidism, osteomalacia, multiple myeloma, diffuse metastases, and glucocorticoid therapy or intrinsic excess.By far, the largest patient po...
متن کاملEvaluation of bone strength: correlation between measurements of bone mineral density and drilling force.
Bone drilling is a major part of modern orthopaedic surgery which involves the internal fixation of fractured bones. The investigation of bone drilling described in this paper demonstrates the contribution of automation technology towards the study of bone strength. The aim of this preliminary investigation is to establish a relationship between bone drilling forces and measurements of bone min...

patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, we evaluated all patients referred to a single rheumatology clinic for bone mineral density measurements from 2009 to 2010. all patients who had bone mineral density measurements taken from the hip, lumbar spine, forearm, and whole body were enrolled in the study. standard bone mineral density measurements were performed using a dual energy x-...
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...
