Preliminary Research on Dual-Energy X-Ray Phase-Contrast Imaging [PDF]
Chinese Physics C Vol. 40, No. 4 (2016) 048201, 2015 Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) has been widely applied to measure bone mineral density (BMD) and soft-tissue composition of human body. However, the use of DEXA is greatly limited for low-Z materials such as soft tissues due to their weak absorption.

Effects of simple hysterectomy on bone loss [PDF]
São Paulo Medical Journal, 1995 Lumbar spine and proximal femoral bone densities of Caucasian women, aged 35-45, were measured by dual photon densitometry model DPX. The measurement sites were assessed at the lumbar spine (vertebrae L2 to L4) and at the proximal femur (trochanter ...
