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 ...

Evaluation of Skinfolds Based Predictive Equations for Estimating Body Fat Percentage in Older Adults: A Comparison Using Digital Adipometer (Lipowise) and Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA). [PDF]
Clin ObesABSTRACT Accurate assessment of body fat percentage (%BF) is essential for predicting health risks in older adults, as age‐related changes affect fat distribution and measurement accuracy. While dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a standard reference, it is costly and less accessible.

Triple-energy photon-counting x-ray imaging for bone-strontium estimation: A simulation study. [PDF]
Med PhysAbstract Background Strontium quantification in bone is clinically relevant but typically requires specialized stand‐alone systems. Photon‐counting detectors offer energy‐resolved imaging that may enable low‐dose estimation of both strontium concentration and bone mineral density in a single acquisition.

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.
