SCOL: Supervised Contrastive Ordinal Loss for Abdominal Aortic Calcification Scoring on Vertebral Fracture Assessment Scans [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Abdominal Aortic Calcification (AAC) is a known marker of asymptomatic Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseases (ASCVDs). AAC can be observed on Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) scans acquired using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) machines. Thus, the automatic quantification of AAC on VFA DXA scans may be used to screen for CVD risks, allowing

Variations in bone mineral density after joint replacement: A systematic review examining different anatomical regions, fixation techniques and implant design

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Purpose This study aims to evaluate postoperative periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) at various time points following joint replacement with different implant designs and fixation techniques. Methods Database search was conducted on MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and CINAHL for studies ...

The changing rule of human bone density with aging based on a novel definition and mensuration of bone density with computed tomography [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Osteoporosis and fragility fractures have emerged as major public health concerns in an aging population. However, measuring age-related changes in bone density using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry has limited personalized risk assessment due to susceptibility to interference from various factors.

Measurement of bone quality in growing male rats using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and bone ash content : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Animal Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2001
Growing male rats have been considered and used as a model for bone growth and prevention of osteoporosis because of their high bone turnover and demand for calcium. Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is a useful tool for identifying minimal changes

Optimizing CT Scan Parameters for Dry Archaeological Bones: A Qualitative Study as a First Step Towards Standardizing CT Acquisition Protocols

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT Even though the use of CT scan examinations is often required in paleopathology, the method for performing a CT scan on archaeological dry bones has received little attention. Eight different CT acquisition parameters and positions on the CT table were evaluated using five healthy tibiae (including three immature bones), four healthy vertebrae

The disparity of measuring bone mineral content using bioimpedance and dual-energy absorptiometry in the context of hyperparathyroidism

Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2020
Introduction: Body composition is critical for the evaluation of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and can be obtained from either multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) or dual-energy absorptiometry (DXA).

New Advances in Body Composition Assessment with ShapedNet: A Single Image Deep Regression Approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We introduce a novel technique called ShapedNet to enhance body composition assessment. This method employs a deep neural network capable of estimating Body Fat Percentage (BFP), performing individual identification, and enabling localization using a single photograph. The accuracy of ShapedNet is validated through comprehensive comparisons against the

New Evidence, Creative Insights, and Strategic Solutions: Advancing the Understanding and Practice of Diabetes Osteoporosis

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes osteoporosis is a debilitating condition that significantly impacts human health. However, it is often underdiagnosed and not addressed in a timely or appropriate manner. Methods Recent studies were reviewed to explore the roles of energy metabolism, sarcopeina, low‐grade inflammation and gut microbiota in the development ...
