Laser-Supported Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXL) Compared to Conventional Absorptiometry (DXA) and to FRAX as Tools for Fracture Risk Assessments.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Dual X-ray and Laser (DXL) adds a measure of the external thickness of the heel, measured by laser, to a conventional measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) of the calcaneus, using Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). The addition of heel thickness

Computed tomography-osteoabsorptiometry for assessing the density distribution of subchondral bone as a measure of long-term mechanical adaptation in individual joints [PDF]

, 1989
To estimate subchondral mineralisation patterns which represent the long-term loading history of individual joints, a method has been developed employing computed tomography (CT) which permits repeated examination of living joints.

Bone mineral density in primary care patients related to serum calcium concentrations: a longitudinal cohort study from Sweden

Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care, 2018
Objective: Elevated calcium concentration is a commonly used measure in screening analyses for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and cancer. Low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis are common features of pHPT and strengthen the indication for ...

Comparison of visceral fat mass measurement by dual-X-ray absorptiometry and magnetic resonance imaging in a multiethnic cohort: the Dallas Heart Study

Nutrition & Diabetes, 2016
Background/Objectives:Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass, a risk factor for cardiometabolic complications of obesity, is usually measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but this method is not practical in a clinical setting. In contrast, measurement

Waist-to-Hip Ratio is Related to Body Fat Content and Distribution Regardless of the Waist Circumference Measurement Protocol, in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Patients [PDF]

, 2016
Central accumulation and distribution of body fat (BF) is an important cardiometabolic risk factor. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), commonly elevated in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients, has been endorsed as a risk related marker of central ...

Age-Related Trends in Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry–Measured Adiposity and Their Clinical Relevance: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study of Korean Peri- and Postmenopausal Women

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Body composition changes with aging and menopause, often leading to increased adiposity and a shift in fat distribution. While BMI is commonly used in clinical practice, it does not accurately reflect fat mass or distribution ...
