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.

Single- and Dual-Energy: X-Ray Absorptiometry

European Radiology, 1997
Osteoporosis 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: 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.

[Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 1994
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been widely used in Japan. In this article, we described our lateral measurement of lumbar vertebral body, and reviewed the fracture threshold and the diagnosis of osteoporosis. The bone mineral density was measured in the anteroposterior projection (L2-4BMD) and in the lateral projection (L3 latBMD) by XR-26.

Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Early Life

Hormone Research, 1997
Dual-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.

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.

Technical principles of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1997
Since its introduction nearly ten years ago, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has become the single most widely used technique for performing bone densitometry studies. One reason for its popularity is the ability of DXA systems to measure bone mineral density (BMD) in the spine and proximal femur, the two most common sites for osteoporotic ...
