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

Interpretation of bone densitometry studies
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1997Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is widely used for identifying patients with osteoporosis, making decisions about the commencement of preventive therapy, and following up response to treatment. It is important that radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians issuing clinical reports present clear interpretations that aid the primary care ...

Densitometry of Appendicular Bone in Osteoporosis
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1985To the Editor.— As the initial developers of the single-photon absorptiometry (SPA) method for bone mineral assessment, 1 the chief proponents of the method over the past 20 years, 2 and the originators of instrumentation for its clinical implementation, 3 we have been alarmed to learn of recent unsubstantiated claims by commercial interests for ...

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 ...
