Dual 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 کاملComparison 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 کاملThe utility of single-photon absorptiometry and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.
T w o decades ago researchers at the University of Wisconsin showed that 125I photon absorptiometry could be used to measure bone mineral in the forearm easily and accurately with little radiation exposure (1). Surrounding the arm with water or other soft tissue-equivalent material of constant thickness provided uniform extra-skeletal attenuation; the incremental attenuation by bones was linear...
