The bone densitometer’s innovative software measures dual capability, including bone density and quality. This enables the identification of 30 percent more patients at a higher risk of fractures.

The abbreviation “DXA” was proposed by the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD ... allow more rapid and convenient scanning. Bone mineral assessment is now widely available, ...

Reference data accumulated on Lunar pencil-beam densitometers can be used as reference data for newer models such as the Prodigy (Oldroyd, 2003). Bone Mineral Density, as measured by DXA, represents a ...

How does the patient dose in DXA compare to the dose from Bone Mineral Density (BMD) estimates using Quantitative Computerised Tomography (QCT)? The typical patient effective dose from a dual energy ...
