BoneXpert software automatically measures bone age from a child's hand X-ray according to the Greulich-Pyle and Tanner-Whitehouse methods.
which we previously showed deletes genes preferentially from osteocytes15,16,17,18. We found that Panx1 deletion has small but significant effects on bone mass that is more evident as the mice age. Further, absence
dual–energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)quantitative computed tomography (QCT)peripheral QCT (pQCT)magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)Following the increased awareness about the central role of the pediatric age in building bone for life, clinicians face more than ever the necessity of assessing bone ...
Forensic anthropology includes, amongst other applications, the positive identification of unknown human skeletal remains. The first step in this process is an assessment of the biological profile, that is: sex, age, stature and ancestry. In forensic con
An inappropriate reference range for peak bone mineral density (BMD) may result in identification of an incorrect proportion of subjects with osteopenia and osteoporosis at dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In this study, we assessed the prevalence of low BMD in Turkish young adults with re...
A Normal Reference of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Measured by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Healthy Thai Children and Adolescents Aged 5–18 Years: A ... A normal reference of bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in healthy thai children and adolescents...
Objective:The complexity of radiographic Tanner-Whitehouse method makes it less acceptable by radiologists and endocrinologists to assess bone age. Conventional ultrasound could be used to measure the ratio of the height of the ossification center to the epiphysis of the bone to evaluate maturity of ...
Serum Bone Gla-Protein as a Marker of Bone Growth in Children and Adolescents: Correlation With Age, Height, Serum Insulin-Like Growth Factor I, and Serum Testosterone* Serum bone Gla-protein (BGP) was determined by RIA in 450 normal children (229 girls and 221 boys, aged 6-19 yr). Ser...
Top left to bottom right: Evolution of transverse section of fibula with age (age and sex are indicated above each section), taken at the same location. Illustrations come from DMB measurement by X-rays. Note the evolution of the cortex and trabeculae. Scale bars represent 1.5 mm. The ri...
and ANOVA followed by the least significant difference (LSD) test was used for intra-group comparison. In addition, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to correct for age bias between patients with femoral head necrosis and femoral neck fracture. A value of P < 0.05 was considered ...
