Application of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry [PDF]
Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a quantitative imaging procedure for the measurement of bone mineral density and the diagnosis of osteopenia and osteoporosis. In a sporting context, DXA is particularly useful for the evaluation of athletes at risk of relative energy deficiency in sports, a condition associated with overtraining and/or ...
