Measurements of Bone Mineral by Photon Absorptiometry [PDF]
, 1987 The recognition of the socioeconomic impact of osteoporosis in our ageing population, with its associated morbidity and mortality from spinal, hip and radius fractures, has led to an increasing interest in bone mass and its measurement. As a result, several clinically tested methods are now available for diagnosing low bone mass, measuring the rate of ...

Heterotopic Ossification Effect on Dual-Photon Absorptiometry of the Hip
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1990Dual-photon absorptiometry (DPA) is now widely used to determine bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and hips. Because the resulting images are often not of sufficient resolution to identify many bone or soft tissue abnormalities that may influence results, clinical and radiographic correlation is necessary.

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 ...

The Noninvasive Determination of Bone Mineral Content by Photon Absorptiometry
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1982The human endoskeleton is composed of a collagen-containing organic matrix upon which is deposited a crystalline mineral phase. The strength and structural properties of bone depend on its resiliency, tensile properties, and compressive strength. Bone weakness thus develops whenever there are changes in the formation of the organic matrix, 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 ...

Total body composition by dual-photon (153Gd) absorptiometry
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1984The 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

Estimation of Bone and Skeletal Weight by Direct Photon Absorptiometry
Investigative Radiology, 1971The direct photon (125I) absorptiometric method for radiologic measurement of bone was used to examine the intercorrelations among determinations at various sites on the human ulna, radius, humerus and femur.

Demineralization in cystic fibrosis detected by direct photon absorptiometry
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1979Bone mineral content, bone width, and their ratio were measured in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) using monoenergetic photon absorptiometry. Serial measurements of the radius and ulna were made in 27 patients with CF and were compared with 968 age-matched controls. Demineralization was found in 37% of the boys and 63% of the girls.

Monitoring fluoride therapy in osteoporosis by dual photon absorptiometry
Bone, 1987Dual photon absorptiometry (DPA) was used to evaluate changes in bone mineral mass in 108 osteopenic patients. Ninety were treated with fluoride and 18 served as controls. All osteopenic patients and 9 of the controls took calcium and vitamin D supplements. In 16 women estrogens were combined with the fluoride therapy.

Photon absorptiometry of bone after successful renal transplantation
The British Journal of Radiology, 1977Photon absorptiometric measurements of the right lower femur were carried out at regular intervals of one to three months in 58 recipients of renal transplant. (1) During the first six months after transplant 57% showed a significant and abnormal rate of loss of bone mineral (mean 11.7% per year.
