Bone Densitometry in Children

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2002
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.

Bone Densitometry in Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (TGNC) Individuals: The 2019 ISCD Official Positions.

Journal of clinical densitometry, 2019
The indications for initial and follow-up bone mineral density (BMD) in transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals are poorly defined, and the choice of which gender database to use to calculate Z-scores is unclear.

Bone densitometry in infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1988
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.

Bone densitometry

Postgraduate Medicine, 2006
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, 2005
Bone 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

Interpretation of Bone Densitometry

JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 1997
Considerable 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, 1993
Noninvasive 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, 2002
Osteoporosis 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 ...
