Introduction Bone mineral density (BMD) is a key component of bone strength and for evaluating an individual's risk for fracture. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the forearm has been well-studied and can be a useful site for osteoporosis screening. Ultrasound has been proposed as a...

The insertiontorque (IT) (N.cm) was quantified using the digital Mackenatorque meter, and the pullout force (PF) (N) by means of axial tractionforce with a 200 kg load cell, performed in a Universal Test Machine(Emic DL- 10000) and the Tesc 3.13 software. Data were analyzed...
Table 3 The clinical characteristics, pulmonary function test, bone mineral density measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA-BMD), and CT bone density (CTBD) of the ever-smoker groups with different pack-years (light smokers, <15 pack-years; moderate smokers, 15 ≤ x < 3...
bone tissue, osteoblasts and osteoclasts (N = 28 samples evaluated for each sample type). Gender-dependency of circulating miRNA expression is indicated as well as the correlation between miRNA regulation in bone tissue and BMD (=bone mineral density) values. OB = osteoblast, OC =...
Comparison of bone mineral density and quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneus: site-matched correlation and discrimination of axial BMD status. The performance of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) bone densitometry of the calcaneus have been compared, both in ...
We also examined whether the circulating NO levels may be correlated with bone mineral density (BMD) in RA patients. Forty-five patients with RA, 30 healthy women and 30 osteoporotic patients were recruited from the outpatient clinic. All the subjects were female and postmenopausal. Serum NO ...
use the ultrasonic axial conduction technology, double emission and double receiving, it can provide more effective data With innovative algorithm, effectively remove clutter and jamming signal, to get the valid data. With a special correction system, to correct the system error effectively, g...
Figure 3 shows the axial slices of the BMD images from the original QCT, QCBCT, CYC_CBCT, U_CBCT, and CAL_CBCT at the maxilla and mandible. As shown in the subtraction images in Fig. 3, the BMD image quality of the QCBCTs for the two regions exhibited substantial improvement over tho...
