Compared with adults, limited attention has been paid to bone densitometry in children. However, due to the recognition of the importance of peak bone mass and the increased capabilities to treat children with diseases that affect bone growth and/or metabolism, bone densitometry is used more often in children.

The history of bone densitometry
Bone, 2017Bone densitometry (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry-DXA) is a vital medical tool needed for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in non-fractured patients; predicting future fracture risk; and monitoring bone mineral density (BMD) in untreated or treated patients.

Bone densitometry in children: a critical appraisal
European Radiology, 2003Due to the introduction of new therapeutic regimen aimed at increasing and maintaining bone mass, bone densitometry in children has gained interest. As in all new fields of medicine we expect the interest in bone densitometry in children to increase in the coming years. Children pose a unique problem for those involved in the field of bone densitometry,

Clinical Use of Bone Densitometry
New England Journal of Medicine, 1991IF measurements of bone mass are to be clinically useful, they must be safe, precise, accurate, and of reasonable cost in relation to the information provided. Since when bone mass is low the clinical outcome of concern is fracture, there must be a demonstrated relation between the measurement and the subsequent risk of fracture.

Assessment of BMD has become the essential part of evaluation of patients at risk of osteoporosis. It is likely that different BMD technologies will coexist in clinical practice in the future depending on varying clinical needs. DXA is currently the leading bone density technique because it has the capacity to measure axial and appendicular sites ...

Conventional radiographic methods allow physicians to visualize bone structure. However, they do not offer information on the bone mineral density (BMD), which can facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. Bone densitometry, by contrast, helps to detect bone mineral loss at an early stage because it provides accurate quantitative ...

Bone mineral mass and density can be measured noninvasively by various absorptiometric procedures. Two methods, dual-photon absorptiometry (DPA) and quantitative computed tomography, have widespread application in adults but only limited use in children.

Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the method of choice to measure bone mineral density in elderly patients and others at risk for osteoporosis. Early detection is important because fractures represent an enormous health burden. In this article, the authors discuss the application and interpretation of DXA scans as well as limitations and ...

Bone densitometry and bone biopsy
Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2005Bone densitometry is one of the most frequently used investigations in the assessment and management of patients suspected to have osteoporosis. The current method of choice for measuring BMD is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, because of its high precision and low radiation dose. The initiation and choice of treatment in patients with osteoporosis is
