PURPOSE This study evaluates the correlation between corneal densitometry and epithelial ingrowth (EI) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS Corneal densitometry of 3 patients who developed EI after LASIK was measured with the Oculus Pentacam. Corneal densitometry readings of each patient were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively after ingrowth was discovered. Densitometr...

Purpose To evaluate corneal transparency following accelerated collagen cross-linking (ACXL) in pediatric keratoconus. Design A prospective interventional case series. Methods This study included 47 eyes (25 patients), aged 9-14 years, with documented progressive keratoconus. After applying 0.1% riboflavin drops, ACXL was performed. Assessment included corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA...

PURPOSE To assess the repeatability and validity of lens densitometry derived from the Pentacam Scheimpflug imaging system. SETTING Eye Clinic, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. METHODS This prospective cross-sectional study evaluated 1 eye of subjects with or without cataract. Scheimpflug measurements and slitlamp and retroillumination photographs were taken through...

BACKGROUND Prostate cancer subjects with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse who are treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are recommended to have baseline and serial bone densitometry and receive bisphosphonates. The purpose of this community population study was to assess the utilization of bone densitometry and bisphosphonate therapy in men receiving ADT for non-metastatic pros...

Concerns about bone health and potential fragility in children and adolescents have led to a high interest in bone densitometry. Pediatric patients with genetic and acquired chronic diseases, immobility, and inadequate nutrition may fail to achieve expected gains in bone size, mass, and strength, leaving them vulnerable to fracture. In older adults, bone densitometry has been shown to predict f...

Background Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterised by compromised bone strength resulting in an increased risk of fracture. Although DXA the only technology that can be used for diagnostic classification osteoporosis according to WHO, computed tomography imaging (CT) densitometry spine has equal or superior ability predict vertebral fractures postmenopausal women. Therefore continued ...
