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.

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.

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

Reproducibility of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.
Canadian Association of Radiologists journal = Journal l'Association canadienne des radiologistes, 1994The purpose of this investigation was to determine the short-term reproducibility of measurements of whole-body and subregion bone mass and density, as well as body composition, made by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Bone mineral content, bone mineral density and body composition were measured on two occasions, 1 to 2 weeks apart, in 21 women ...
