Bone mineral content measurement using dual photon absorptiometry has reached
widespread clinical use. Of significant concern is the identification of artifacts and their …

Dual photon absorptiometry enables measurement of bone mineral to be carried out at the
clinically relevant sites of the spine and femur. Few would argue that it provides a powerful …

This article on bone mineral analysis is the third of the 1986 continuing education series.
After reading this paper, the reader should be able to: 1) state the clinical indications for …

To determine the short-term reproducibility of bone mass calculations with dual photon
absorptiometry of the lumbar spine (L2–L4), duplicate measurements in healthy subjects …

Conclusions Techniques have been developed using dual-photon absorptiometry for
precise and accurate measurement of bone mineral content in the lower spine and in the …

Single photon absorptiometry provides a simple noninvasive measure of skeletal status with
high precision and accuracy. Dual photon absorptiometry opens up new areas of skeletal …

We have investigated the long-term in vivo precision of a dual photon spine scanner using
three different Gd sources and compared it with that of the single photon scanner. Standard …

Precision of dual-photon absorptiometry (DPA) measurements was determined in a lumbar
spine phantom and in humans. Approximately half of the measurements were made before …

Abstract A Novo Industry BMC-LAB 22a densitometer equipped with a 153 Gd source was
recently implemented for the measurement of bone mineral content (BMC). 70 females …
