Preliminary Research on Dual-Energy X-Ray Phase-Contrast Imaging
, 2015 Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) has been widely applied to measure bone mineral density (BMD) and soft-tissue composition of human body. However, the use of DEXA is greatly limited for low-Z materials such as soft tissues due to their weak ...

Bone Mineral Density at Diagnosis of Celiac Disease and after 1 Year of Gluten-Free Diet
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Atypical or silent celiac disease may go undiagnosed for many years and can frequently lead to loss of bone mineral density, with evolution to osteopenia or osteoporosis. The prevalence of the latter conditions, in case of new diagnosis of celiac disease,

BatchBMD as an Efficient and Accurate Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Report Generator
Diagnostics, 2021 Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the gold standard for evaluating Bone Mineral Density (BMD); however, a typical BMD report is generated in a time-inefficient manner and is prone to error. We developed a rule-based automated reporting system, BatchBMD,

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan: A neglected but essential investigation in men
Journal of Marine Medical Society, 2023 Introduction: Osteoporosis is a condition which affects both men and women but occurs a decade later in men as compared to women. Males constitute a very small percentage of patients who report for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan.

Feasibility of quantitative ultrasonography for the detection of metabolic bone disease in preterm infants - systematic review. [PDF]
, 2018 Metabolic bone disease of prematurity is characterised by disordered bone mineralisation and is therefore an increased fracture risk. Preterm infants are especially at risk due to incomplete in utero bone accretion during the last trimester.
