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.

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
Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2017Bone 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, 2011This 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, 1999Dual-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, 2000We 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, 2010Dual-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.

Single- and Dual-Energy: X-Ray Absorptiometry
European Radiology, 1997Osteoporosis is the most common of the metabolic disorders of bone. The condition is characterised by reduced bone mass and easy (fragility) fracture. Such fractures can occur in any site but are most frequent in the wrist, spine (vertebral body) and hip — areas of the skeleton rich in trabecular bone. Such fractures, and particularly those in the hip,

Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Early Life
Hormone Research, 2009Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a safe and quick technique, and requires little cooperation from the patient. DXA has therefore been introduced progressively in paediatrics and neonatology to study bone mineral content and body composition.

Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry in neuromuscular diseases
Muscle & Nerve, 1994AbstractBody components were measured noninvasively in patients with neuromuscular disease by using dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA), capable of separately analyzing fat, bone, and muscle content. In all patients with muscle atrophy of myogenic or neurogenic origin, muscle mass was markedly reduced. Although all three components (fat, muscle, and
