1988
Single-photon absorptiometry (SPA) was first described by Cameron and Sorenson (1963) in an effort to overcome the problems inherent in the use of film densitometry. The basic configuration for the single-photon systems commercially available today was introduced in 1972 (Mazess and Cameron, 1972).

1988
The potential of dual-photon absorptiometry (DPA) for noninvasive bone measurements was originally reported by Reed (1960) and by Cameron and Sorenson (1963). The first equipment utilizing this technique was constructed by Reed and Atkinson (1965; Reed, 1966), and methods for measurement of the BMC of the lumbar vertebrae in vivo were subsequently ...

Osteoporosis International, 1995
The aim of the present study was to evaluate a new device for measurement of forearm bone mass using the technique of single X-ray absorptiometry (SXA, DTX-100; Osteometer A/S, Rødovre, Denmark), and to compare the performance with the more traditional single photon absorptiometry (SPA, DT 100; Osteometer A/S, Rødovre, Denmark).

Photon absorptiometry, bone densitometry and the challenge of osteoporosis
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2006During the lifetime of Physics in Medicine and Biology, osteoporosis has been recognized as the cause of a major health burden for societies, particularly within developed countries. The health detriment is associated with the consequences of bone fractures and the subsequent increases in morbidity and mortality.

Triple-Photon Energy Absorptiometry in the Measurement of Bone Mineral
Acta Radiologica, 1988The feasibility of determination of bone mineral content using a triple-photon absorptiometric technique is presented. Using three different photon energies it is possible to correct the measured ‘bone mineral’ value for fat and lean soft tissue.

Single- and dual-photon absorptiometry in osteoporosis and osteomalacia
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1987Single- and dual-photon absorptiometric methods have been used in the past to identify populations at risk for bone loss, to define the osteoporotic syndrome in terms of bone mass, and to evaluate treatment regimens to prevent bone loss. Technical improvements have made these procedures available for the nontraumatic measurement of bone mineral in the ...

Body composition by photon absorptiometry.
Canadian journal of sport sciences = Journal canadien des sciences du sport, 1990Whole-body dual photon measurements of body composition were made in 9 controls, 15 athletes and 5 patients with eating disorders. Measurements of lean body mass, mineral mass and fat mass were accurate. Lean body mass and fat mass were measured with reliabilities of about 0.8 kg while for total body bone mineral mass, the reliability was about 60 g ...

Body Composition by Dual-Photon Absorptiometry and Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
1990Dual-energy projection methods have been used over the past decade for non-invasive measurement of bone. Dual-photon absorptiometry (DPA) using a 153-Gd radionuclide source is used clinically in about 1000 centers to measure regional bone mineral density (BMD), particularly of the spine and proximal femur (Barden and Mazess, 1989).

[Applications and results of photon absorptiometry].
Minerva endocrinologica, 1992Bone mineral content (CMO, mg/cm2) was measured at the distal radius by dual photon absorptiometry (DPA, I125, Am241) in 1.161 women (w), aged 20-87 years. Women were subdivided into different groups according to the presence and duration of menopause. For gross evaluation of spinal osteoporosis (OP), the results of spinal X-rays were graded as follows:
