Effects of simple hysterectomy on bone loss

São Paulo Medical Journal
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 ...

Body composition in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a narrative literature review

Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease, 2021
There is growing interest in the alterations in body composition (BC) that accompany rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of this review is to (i) investigate how BC is currently measured in RA patients, (ii) describe alterations in body composition in

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 ...

Accuracy and the influence of marrow fat on quantitative CT and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measurements of the femoral neck in vitro [PDF]

, 1996
Bone mineral measurements with quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were compared with chemical analysis (ChA) to determine (1) the accuracy and (2) the influence of bone marrow fat.

Bone Organoids: A Novel Tool for Modeling and Managing Skeletal Disorders in Diabetes

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
This review synthesizes advances in bone organoid engineering and evaluates their potential to model diabetic bone fragility. Current in vitro and animal models do not fully recapitulate diabetes‐associated skeletal phenotypes. Cell‐based and scaffold‐based bone organoids are discussed as complementary approaches to reconstruct multicellular bone ...

Bone strain index reproducibility and soft tissue thickness influence: a dual x-ray photon absorptiometry phantom study

European Radiology Experimental, 2019
Background Bone strain index (BSI) is a tool measuring bone strain, derived from dual x-ray photon absorptiometry. It is able to characterise an aspect of bone quality that, joined to the quantity and quality parameters of bone mineral density (BMD) and ...
