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 ...

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 ...

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.

Statistics in Densitometry [PDF]
, 1998 Many physicians in clinical practice have not had formal training in statistics. A basic knowledge of certain aspects of statistics is essential for the physician densitometrist. Quality control procedures for the various machines require some statistical analyses.

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 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 ...

Corneal Densitometry in Keratoconus
Cornea, 2014The aim of this study was to compare corneal densitometry measured by Scheimpflug tomography in normal and keratoconic eyes and to assess the differences in densitometry values among the stages of keratoconus.Keratoconic and normal corneas were examined using the Pentacam. Corneal densitometry was measured over a 12-mm diameter area, divided by annular

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.

Several non-invasive methods are available to measure bone density in different regions of the skeleton. Bedrest and microgravity both lead to bone loss, which is more marked in the lower parts of the skeleton. The bone loss can be monitored by non-invasive techniques in longitudinal studies when precision (i.e.
