BONE DENSITOMETRY OF MENOPAUSAL WOMEN IN TEHRAN
Using a cluster sampling method, a group of menopausal women from three geographic areas in Tehran were asked to participate in the study. Demographic data was obtained using a questionnaire. Subjects were than referred to perform bone mass densitometry (BMD). The relationship between various variables (i.e. age of menarche, number of years of endogenous estrogen exposure, ... ) with minera...
متن کاملA study of densitometry comparison among three radiographic processing solutions
ABSTRACT Background: The radiographic image accuracy depends on the X-ray film information visibility. Good visibility is found by good contrast. Radiation exposure parameters (kVp, mAs) and film processing conditions have impact on contrast. In dentistry radiography machines, exposure time and processing procedure are set by radiographer. No optimized exposure time and process...
متن کاملAlveolar bone healing process in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). A radiographic densitometry study
UNLABELLED Hypertension is one of the most important public health problems worldwide. If undiagnosed or untreated, this pathology represents a systemic risk factor and offers unfavorable conditions for dental treatments, especially those requiring bone healing. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to demonstrate, by analysis of bone mineral density (BMD), that the alveolar bone healing p...
متن کاملClinical Use of Bone Densitometry
densitometry devices. Many studies have shown a strong relationship between bone density at virtually any skeletal site and the subsequent risk for fractures of the spine, hip, and forearm.1 The exact strength of this relationship depends on the type of fracture and the skeletal site measured. In most cases, the relationship between bone density and fracture by analogy is as strong or stronger ...
متن کاملThe history of bone densitometry.
Bone densitometry (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry-DXA) is a vital medical tool needed for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in non-fractured patients; predicting future fracture risk; and monitoring bone mineral density (BMD) in untreated or treated patients. The history of the pivotal international society involved in the science and clinical interpretation of DXA, the International Society for ...
