Discordance in diagnosis of osteoporosis using spine and femur bone densitometry: prevalence and related factors
Introduction: This study was conducted to evaluate prevalence and risk factors for diagnostic discordance for osteoporosis due to different T-scores of lumbar spine and femoral neck. Methods: In this cross sectional study demographic, anthropometric and risk factors for osteoporosis were derived from a database on 3,039 post-menopausal women who underwent bone densitometry for the first time i...
متن کاملDiscordance in diagnosis of osteoporosis using spine and hip bone densitometry
Diagnostic discordance for osteoporosis is the observation that the T-score of a patient varies between skeletal sites, falling into 2 different diagnostic categories identified by the World Health Organization classification system. Densitometrists and clinicians should expect that at least 4 of every 10 patients tested by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to demonstrate T-score discordan...

failure of antigen production is more likely to be due to genetic change associated with incomplete penetrance than to genetic loss. An alternative or additional possibility cannot, however, be excluded-that exuberant cell division causes dilution of a particulate cytoplasmic factor responsible for the formation of the antigen. Loss of organ-specific antigens could influence tumour metastasis b...
متن کاملSelective Densitometry of the Lumbar Spine
Introduction: Bone mineral density (BMD) has been identified as a major factor in spine construct strength, with failures resulting in pedicle screw loosening and pullout [2,3]. Computed tomography (CT) scans have been shown to effectively measure BMD [1,4]. Previous research has utilized this linear correlation of CT Hounsfield Units (HU) to BMD in order to determine BMD as a function of anato...
