Effect of Radionuclide Bone Scans on BMD Measurements Using A Lunar DPX IQ DensitometerAlthough manufacturers of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) machines recommend a delay of a bone density scan after the administration of radionuclides they do not provide any reason for it. Studies performed to ...
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a six-month testosterone supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD) in males ages 19-62. Recruiting potential subject through a local clinic, five subjects were eligible for participation in the study. A pre-supplementation DEXA scan was...
What is the BMD test? A bone Mineral Density (BMD) test is done to check the strength of bones. The density of bones is tested with the help of a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) machine. Also, the cause of the weakness of bones is detected. Through this test, information abo...
The primary end point was change in BMD in the lumbar spine and total hip by DEXA scan, taken at the point of stopping of teriparatide, and after a further 12 months of treatment. Results were adjusted for confounders including age, BMD, 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum urate, and procollagen type...
In a single scan, DECT has the capability to achieve material separation and generate various base material pairs based on clinical requirements, accompanied by a set of monochromatic images. VMI stands as one of the intrinsic reconstruction techniques in DECT. Adapted to specific requirements, its ...

aFor each plot, the top panel shows allele effects for the DO founders for each of the eight QTL (quantitative trait loci) across an interval on chromosome 1 (Mbp, colors correspond to the founder allele in the legend). Bottom panels show each respective QTL scan. The red horizontal lines...
Determination of BMD was performed by DEXA SCAN (Model HORIZON A). The detection sections included the central skeleton's three areas- anteroposterior lumbar (L1-L4) spine, proximal femur (femoral neck), and distal radius. RESULTS. A total of 46 patients on maintenance hemodialysis were included...
Bone mineral density (BMD) was determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) on a Hologic bone densitometer (QDR 9000 Hologic, Waltham, Mass.). Subjects performed the DEXA scan for screening for osteopenia or because of their increased awareness of their health. Criteria for patient ...
Experimental results were 11.2 for the Discovery, 9.9 for the Prodigy, 8.6 for the Calscan and 6.3 for the Dexacare G4. The results confirm both theoretically and experimentally that the effect of bone strontium on BMD measurements is different for different DXA systems. In the future it ...
