Photon-Counting CT Material Decomposition in Bone Imaging
Journal of Imaging, 2023 The accurate screening of osteoporosis is important for identifying persons at risk. The diagnosis of bone conditions using dual X-ray absorptiometry is limited to extracting areal bone mineral density (BMD) and fails to provide any structural ...

Body composition measures assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in a sample of Brazilian adults and older adults [PDF]
Frontiers in NutritionIntroductionBioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a common technique for assessing body composition in clinical and epidemiological settings. However, its accuracy is limited compared to reference methods such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)

Total body composition by dual-photon (153Gd) absorptiometry
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1984 The lean-fat composition (%FATR) of soft tissue and the mineral mass of the skeleton were determined in vivo using dual-photon (153Gd) absorptiometry (dose under 2 mrem). A rectilinear raster scan was made over the entire body in 18 subjects (14 female, 4 male). Single-photon absorptiometry (125I) measured bone mineral content on the radius. Percentage

Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2023 The aim of this study was to describe the correlation between body composition data obtained through DXA and through skinfolds strategy, with some of their respective formulas, in sprinters. The sample consisted of 15 male sprinters (23.81 years ± 3.11;

HOUNSFIELD UNITS USE IN SPINAL SURGERY PLANNING: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS [PDF]
Coluna/Columna, 2022 Bone mineral density is a crucial factor in the success or failure of osteosynthesis in spine surgery; it shows the onset of osteoporosis and related complications. Its evaluation is verified by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and Hounsfield Unit
