Few studies have evaluated risk factors for bone loss in elderly women and men. Thus, we
examined risk factors for 4‐year longitudinal change in bone mineral density (BMD) at the …

Our study investigated bone mineral density of the proximal femur and ultradistal and
proximal radius in a population of elderly men and women. The Framingham study started in …

We studied bone mineral density (BMD) of the spine using dual photon absorptiometry, as
well as standard anterior-posterior and lateral lumbar spine X-ray film in 113 ambulatory …

Densitometry is primarily a quantitative measurement technique rather than a skeletal
imaging technique. Nevertheless, there are unique aspects of skeletal anatomy in …

Undissolved calcium (Ca) tablets in the gastrointestinal tract at the time of a dual-energy X-
ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan could conceivably affect the accuracy of the lumbar spine …

Modern bone densitometry systems using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)
automatically analyze lumbar spine scans and provide clinically important information …

Previous studies have suggested that 14–47% of the variation in bone mineral density
(BMD) can be predicted using clinical risk factors. The aim of our study was to determine, for …

Densitometry was originally developed as a quantitative measurement technique, rather
than as an imaging technique. Nevertheless, there are unique aspects to skeletal anatomy …

Our study investigated bone mineral density of the proximal femur and ultradistal and
proximal radius in a population of elderly men and women. The Framingham study started in …

Studies of the lumbar spine performed with DPA or DXA are generally acquired by the
passage of photon energy from the posterior to anterior direction. They are properly …
