Theirs is the first study to use high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT scanning as well as the usual dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry to examine bone. |
Applying this method to the absorptiometry, higher sensitive determination than titration method have been carried out. |
Total body, lumbar and hip BMD were evaluated at baseline, six and 12 months using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. |
Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and proximal femur were measured with dual energy x ray absorptiometry. |
Several different types of scans are available, including ultrasound, computerized tomography and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. |
The commoner forms of these devices in Europe and North America include heel and forearm dual energy x ray absorptiometry and quantitative ultrasound at the heel. |
