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.

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 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.

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 ...

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.

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.
