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 ...

Bone Densitometry

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1998
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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
