Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry

Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2017
Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the most commonly used method to assess fracture risk. DXA utilizes two different energy X-rays to calculate BMD and, by comparison to a young normative database, the T-score.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry

Australian family physician, 2011
This article forms part of our 'Tests and results' series for 2011 which aims to provide information about common tests that general practitioners order regularly. It considers areas such as indications, what to tell the patient, what the test can and cannot tell you, and interpretation of results.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry: A review

Journal of Renal Nutrition, 1999
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been recently used for body composition analysis in dialysis patients. It is based on the principle that X-rays passed through various body tissues have different attenuation and, therefore, can be differentiated.

Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry in Osteopetrosis

Southern Medical Journal, 2000
We have used dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in evaluation and follow-up of a patient with osteopetrosis, before and after cord blood transplantation. Other methods of follow-up in such cases have been described, but the use of DXA has not previously been reported.

An Update on Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2010
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans to measure bone mineral density at the spine and hip have an important role in the evaluation of individuals at risk of osteoporosis, and in helping clinicians advise patients about the appropriate use of antifracture treatment.
