Experimental investigation of bone mineral density in Thoroughbreds using quantitative computed tomography
Bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the indications of the strength and health. BMD measured by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) was compared with that measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and radiographic bone aluminum equivalence (RBAE). Limbs were removed from horses that had been euthanized for reasons not associated with this study. Sixteen limbs (left and right metaca...
متن کاملExperimental assessment of bone mineral density using quantitative computed tomography in holstein dairy cows
The aim of this study was to assess the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) by quantitative computed tomography (QCT), comparing the relationships of BMD between QCT and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and between QCT and radiographic absorptiometry (RA) in the metacarpal bone of Holstein dairy cows (n=27). A significant positive correlation was found between QCT and DXA measuremen...
متن کاملBone-composition imaging using coherent-scatter computed tomography: assessing bone health beyond bone mineral density.
Quantitative analysis of bone composition is necessary for the accurate diagnosis and monitoring of metabolic bone diseases. Accurate assessment of the bone mineralization state is the first requirement for a comprehensive analysis. In diagnostic imaging, x-ray coherent scatter depends upon the molecular structure of tissues. Coherent-scatter computed tomography (CSCT) exploits this feature to ...
متن کاملBone mineral density in steroid-dependent asthma assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography.
Chronic use of systemic glucocorticoids results in progressive bone loss and pathologic fractures. This study identified the predictive variables for bone loss and used peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) to measure changes in cortical and trabecular bone in patients receiving systemic glucocorticoid therapy of prednisone 15.4 g. Eighty-four asthmatic patients were included in th...
متن کاملBone Mineral Density Changes in Growing and Training Thoroughbreds
Bone mineral density contributes to bone strength, and can be measured accurately in the distal limb of growing or training young horses. In training horses, changes occur within less than 3 months, and consist of trabecular thickening in the subchondral area and specific areas of the body of the epiphysis of longbones and the cuboidal bones. In the growing horse, variation in mineral density b...
