Dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry: gold standard for muscle mass?
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018 Since the late 90s, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been validated against so-called gold standards for body composition (BC) by comparison to chemical analysis, dissection, and anatomy-based imaging methods (CT or MRI).

Early Detection of Osteoporosis by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry [PDF]
Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences, 1969 An early detection of osteoporosis through DEXA procedure will not only improve the disease management practices but also would help in impeding national productivity losses by mass screening and awareness. Our objective was to measure efficacy of DEXA procedure in early detection of osteoporosis and prevention of its complications.This case series ...

Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry [PDF]
North Carolina Medical Journal, 2014 Assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) plays a vital role in the diagnosis of osteoporosis and in monitoring a patient's response to drug therapy. This commentary will discuss controversies surrounding the use of DXA for screening and monitoring of BMD in women.

Pediatric dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry: interpretation and clinical and research application [PDF]
Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2010 Peak bone mass is established predominately during childhood and adolescence. It is an important determinant of future resistance to osteoporosis and fractures to gain bone mass during growth. The issue of low bone density in children and adolescents has

Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry for Quantification of Visceral Fat [PDF]
Obesity, 2012 Obesity is the major risk factor for metabolic syndrome and through it diabetes as well as cardiovascular disease. Visceral fat (VF) rather than subcutaneous fat (SF) is the major predictor of adverse events.
