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

2007
Early attempts at bone densitometry used conventional x-rays with a step wedge made from an aluminum or ivory phantom included in the field of view as a means of calibration. The bone density was calculated by a visual comparison of the density of the bone and the known densities of the each of the steps on the phantom.

Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry

2003
Osteoporosis 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.

Quality in dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans

Bone, 2017
Dual-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 ...
