Whole-body DXA evaluation in HIV patients
Background After the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of HIV infection, metabolic abnormalities were increasingly observed, associated with both protease inhibitors and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, characterized by abnormal fat distribution in the body (lipoatrophy, lipohypertrophy or both), hyperglycemia and lean tissue mass wasting. Howeve...
متن کاملClinical applications of body composition measurements using DXA.
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning was primarily developed for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and was initially applied to studies of the clinically important sites of the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and forearm. The rapid adoption of DXA has led to the development of different, competing generations of equipment. Improvements have been achieved through advances in X-ray generation ...
متن کاملBody composition analysis of chickens by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry.
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was evaluated as a method for measuring the body composition of growing broiler chickens. A total of 130 chickens, ranging in weight from 400 to 3,290 g, were scanned using a DXA instrument (Lunar DPX-L). Single whole-body scans were acquired and analyzed using pediatric total body research software (neonatal mode) or small animal total body research softw...
متن کاملEvaluation of a new body composition phantom for quality control and cross-calibration of DXA devices.
This study evaluated a new body composition phantom and its use for quality control and cross-calibration of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) instruments for measurements of body composition. We imaged the variable composition phantom (Lunar, Madison, WI) on eight different DXA devices. Deviations of up to 7% fat were observed when we compared the percent fat values measured by the differ...
متن کاملCross-calibration of fat and lean measurements by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to pig carcass analysis in the pediatric body weight range.
The objective of this study was to cross-calibrate measurements of body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) with chemical analysis of carcasses of pigs in the pediatric range of body weight. Eighteen pigs (25.5 +/- 7.0 kg; 9.9-32.8% body fat) were scanned in duplicate by using DXA with a Lunar DPX-L densitometer in the pediatric medium and adult fast-detail scan modes. Pigs we...
