A simple equation to estimate body fat percentage in children with overweightness or obesity: a retrospective study [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) provides separate measurements of fat mass, fat-free mass and bone mass, and is a quick, accurate, and safe technique, yet one that is not readily available in routine clinical practice.

Novel lateral whole‐body dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry of lumbar paraspinal muscle mass: results from the SarcoSpine study

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2021
Background Here, we aimed to propose novel lateral whole‐body dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (lateral DXA) as a simple tool for measuring spinal muscle mass and investigate the feasibility of lateral DXA to measure lumbar paraspinal muscle (LPM) mass ...

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 ...
