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.

The history of bone densitometry
Bone, 2017Bone densitometry (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry-DXA) is a vital medical tool needed for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in non-fractured patients; predicting future fracture risk; and monitoring bone mineral density (BMD) in untreated or treated patients.

Standardization of CT Densitometry [letter]
Radiology, 2004Editor: The development of quantitative computed tomographic (CT) techniques for the measurement of chronic lung diseases such as emphysema and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a major advance in the pursuit of novel disease-modifying therapies, but standardization between centers remains a substantial obstacle.

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 ...

Practical Use of Bone Densitometry
JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 1997Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is currently the best clinically available tool for diagnosing decreased bone mineral density before osteoporotic fractures occur. The recent introduction of new treatment options for osteoporosis makes accurate and early diagnosis more important than in the past.

An Introduction to Conventions in Densitometry
2002In any discussion of bone densitometry, many terms and conventions are used that are unique to this field. In the chapters that follow, these terms and conventions will be used repeatedly. In an effort to facilitate the reading and comprehension of those chapters, a preliminary review of some of these unique aspects of bone densitometry is offered here.

Skeletal Anatomy in Densitometry
2003Densitometry is primarily a quantitative measurement technique rather than a skeletal imaging technique. Nevertheless, there are unique aspects of skeletal anatomy in densitometry that must be appreciated to properly utilize the technology and interpret the quantitative results as well as the skeletal images.
