Indications and Reporting for Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2004Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is widely used to measure bone mineral density (BMD), there are few guidelines regarding indications for testing in populations other than postmenopausal women or for reporting the results from DXA studies. At the 2003 Position Development Conference of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry,

The clinical role of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry
European Journal of Radiology, 2009Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements of hip and spine bone mineral density (BMD) have an important role in the evaluation of individuals at risk of osteoporosis, and in helping clinicians advise patients about the appropriate use of anti-fracture treatment.

Quality in dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans
Bone, 2017Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for measuring bone mineral density (BMD), making the diagnosis of osteoporosis, and for monitoring changes in BMD over time. DXA data are also used in the determination of fracture risk. Procedural steps in DXA scanning can be broken down into scan acquisition, analysis, interpretation, and ...

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and body composition
Nutrition, 1996This review describes the advantages and limitations of dual-energy absorptiometry (DXA), a technique that is widely used clinically to assess a patient's risk of osteoporosis and to monitor the effects of therapy. DXA is also increasingly used to measure body composition in terms of fat and fat-free mass.

Calcified Tissue International, 1995
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of using bone mineral measurements of the calcaneus to evaluate osteoporosis. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the calcaneus was compared with posteroanterior lumbar absorptiometry (DXA) and vertebral quantitative computed tomography (QCT) measurements in 171 white women (78 normal and 93

Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
2003Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease. It is characterised by reduced bone mass, altered bone architecture and the clinical consequence of easy fracture with little or no trauma (low-trauma fractures). These fractures tend to occur most commonly in sites of the skeleton that are rich in trabecular bone: the wrist, spine and hip.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and body composition
Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care, 2005Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is now widely adopted for the measurement of the fat, fat-free soft tissue and bone mineral compartments of the body. Whereas it is regarded by many as a reference technique for such measurements, it is not without limitations. Inter and intra-manufacturer differences have been areas of concern.

Technical Standardization for Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2004Clinical applications of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) should be updated periodically to address new technologies and inconsistencies in the use of existing technologies. The 2003 Position Development Conference of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry addressed issues regarding hip and forearm regions of interest (ROIs ...

Suspension criteria for dual energy X ray absorptiometry
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2012The use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) units primarily for the assessment of fracture risk and in the diagnosis of osteoporosis is ubiquitous in Europe and ever-expanding in its implementation worldwide. DXA is known for its reported low radiation dose and precision in the determination of bone mineral density.

Dual-energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2013Physicians and other health care providers requesting dual-energy x-ray bone density studies must be able to critically review and interpret such studies. This requires an understanding of the computerized result components of the studies and how such data can be applied in clinical practice. The timing and interpretation of serial bone density studies
