Interpretation of Bone Densitometry
JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 1997Considerable progress has been made in the development of methods for assessing the skeleton noninvasively so that a) osteoporosis can be detected early, b) osteoporosis progression and response to therapy can be carefully monitored, and/or c) the risk of fracture can be effectively ascertained.

Bone densitometry: Current assessment
Osteoporosis International, 1993Noninvasive measurements of bone mineral density allow the assessment of skeletal integrity, both centrally and peripherally, with high precision and accuracy and with relatively low radiation dose. When estimating skeletal status, it may be important to measure bone mineral density at more than one site to assess differential skeletal responses ...

Bone Densitometry: Applications and Limitations
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada, 2002Osteoporosis is clinically diagnosed in its advanced stages, usually following a fracture. Accurate, precise, and noninvasive skeletal assessment is now possible for early detection of osteoporosis at a preclinical stage. Currently, the gold standard in bone mass measurement and fracture prediction is dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) of the hip ...

Bone densitometry in children and adolescents
Current Opinion in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2014Abnormalities in bone health are increasingly recognized in the pediatric population. Although the methodologies for assessing bone mineral density were originally developed for adults, great strides have been made in recent years, improving their applicability to children.

The Medical letter on drugs and therapeutics, 1996
Recently, several methods for measurement of bone density have been developed. Among them, dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is now considered to be a standard method in bone densitometry. In most cases, values by DXA measurement reflect bone strength and thus measurements of lumbar spine and femoral neck by DXA are used for diagnosis of osteopenia or ...

Radiation Exposure in Bone Densitometry
Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2016This article provides an overview of the literature regarding the magnitude of radiation exposure associated with the current radiologic methods used in patients with suspected osteoporosis. The use of X-ray-based techniques for the detection and monitoring of osteoporosis has increased over the last few decades. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the

APPLICATIONS OF BONE DENSITOMETRY FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1998Over the past decade, growing awareness of the impact of osteoporosis on the elderly population and the availability of new treatments to prevent fractures have stimulated the rapid development of new radiologic techniques to assist in diagnosis. With the ability to perform high precision measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) in the spine and hip,

Practical Use of Bone Densitometry
JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 1997Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is currently the best clinically available tool for diagnosing decreased bone mineral density before osteoporotic fractures occur. The recent introduction of new treatment options for osteoporosis makes accurate and early diagnosis more important than in the past.

Current controversies in bone densitometry
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2002In the face of increasing use of all types of bone densitometry in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis, the limitations of the World Health Organization criteria for the diagnosis of osteoporosis based on bone density measurements have become apparent.

Bone Densitometry of the Axial Skeleton
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1990The role of bone densitometry used as a diagnostic tool is discussed as well as its role in monitoring both the disease process itself and therapy. The QCT method and the DPA/DEXA method are discussed separately, including their regions of interest, calibration, radiation dose, diagnostic sensitivity, precision, and the monitoring and accuracy of ...
