Gemstone spectral imaging for measuring adult bone mineral density.
The present study aimed to detect the bone Ca2+ content of L3 vertebrae in adults by gemstone spectral computed tomography. In total, 235 patients were selected and divided into age groups of 10 years each. The scanning data were used to detect the water-based and Ca2+-based substance levels on the L3 vertebral cancellous bone images. The results indicated that there were significant difference...
متن کاملGemstone Spectral Imaging quantifies lesion characteristics for a confident diagnosis
According to the American Journal of Radiology, more than half of small lesions—particularly those found in the abdomen region that includes the kidney, liver, and lung—are indeterminate by conventional CT exams. As a result, additional testing, such as a PET or MR scan, may be required to make a definitive diagnosis, possibly resulting in unnecessary healthcare costs and patient anxiety. It’s ...

متن کاملCoeliac disease and bone mineral density in adult female patients.
A cross sectional study was undertaken to examine the relationship between coeliac disease and bone mineral density. The 135 female coeliac patients registered on the database of the Department of Gastroenterology at Hull Royal Infirmary were approached by letter, advising them of a potential risk of osteoporosis and inviting them to undergo bone densitometry. A total of 81 registered women (60...
متن کاملLow bone mineral density in adult patients with coeliac disease.
INTRODUCTION Calcium and vitamin D malabsorption in coeliac disease (CD) predispose to skeletal demineralisation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of bone mineral density (BMD) and calcium deficiencies in adult patients with CD and assess whether a gluten-free diet is sufficiently effective for BMD restoration. MATERIAL AND METHODS BMD and biochemical parameters of bone an...
