Bone densitometry in children: a critical appraisal

open access: yesEuropean Radiology, 2003
Due 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,

Pediatric Bone Densitometry

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2010
Bone densitometry is an established diagnostic tool in adults to assess bone quantity and to stratify patients and healthy individuals for the prevention of bone fracture. It has become a powerful tool in monitoring diseases and treatments that have an impact on bone metabolism, such as primary osteoporosis or drug-induced secondary osteoporosis ...

Of small bones and big mistakes; bone densitometry in children revisited

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Radiology, 2009
In this paper we discuss the bone densitometry systems available and their applicability in children and adolescents. Based on the knowledge that the majority of bone densitometry studies in children are performed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry ...

Bone densitometry in children and adolescents

Current Opinion in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2014
Abnormalities 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.

Clinical Use of Bone Densitometry

New England Journal of Medicine, 1991
IF 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.

Follow-up bone mineral density testing: 2023 official positions of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry.

Journal of clinical densitometry, 2023
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard method for measuring bone mineral density (BMD) which is most strongly associated with fracture risk.

Bone Densitometry

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2000
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 ...
