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 کاملBone status of children with hemophilia A assessed with quantitative ultrasound sonography (QUS) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
Recent studies report reduced bone mineral density (BMD) even among young adults and children with hemophilia. Our aim was to assess bone status in children and adolescents with hemophilia with 2 methods: Quantitative UltraSonography (QUS) and Dual energy x-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), and consequently to investigate the degree of correlation between them. Twenty-seven patients (17 with severe hem...
متن کاملDoes Quantitative Tibial Ultrasound Predict Low Bone Mineral Density Defined by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry?
PURPOSE Efforts for the early detection of bone loss and subsequent fracture risk by quantitative ultrasound (QUS), which is a non-invasive, radiation free, and cheaper method, seem rational to reduce the management costs. We aimed in this study to assess the probable correlation of speed of sound (SOS) values obtained by QUS with bone mineral density (BMD) as measured by the gold standard meth...
متن کاملBone mineral density--correlation between quantitative ultrasound characteristics and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
The speed of sound (SOS) and the broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), as determined by quantitative ultrasound at the calcaneum, were correlated with the bone mineral density (BMD) measurements using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the femoral neck and the lumbar spine in 110 females. There were moderate correlations of 0.629, 0.623 and 0.594 between the BMD at the anterior-posterior lum...
متن کاملAssessment of bone mineral density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in pre- and post-menopausal women
Background: Osteoporosis is a chronic disease that contributes substantially to decrease physical activity and decline in the quality of life. Osteoporosis can be diagnosed easily with the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) equipment. The aim of this study was to investigate the magnitude of bone loss on proximal femur and lumbar spine LS in pre- and post-menopausal women f...
