Peripheral Dual-Energy Absorptiometry (P-DEXA):It is a type of DEXA scan which measures bone density of peripheral sites like legs, wrist or arms. This method uses low doses of radiation and gives faster result as compared to DEXA scan. This is the most frequently used test to measure bon...
DEXA is the gold standard for evaluation of osteopo-rosis, one of the most prevalent but silent causes of human morbidity. Although the first physicians who are involved in DEXA interpretation in Iran are not radiologists but currently more and more radiologists are being asked to interpret a ...
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is an endogenously produced, ultrasmall (8–12 nm in diameter), biodegradable, and safe nanocarrier naturally produced in vivo with a high maximum tolerated dose (up to 8 g of protein when infused).13 HDL is known as the “good” cholesterol as it helps...
The largest elliptical Region of Interest (ROI) was drawn in the trabecular bone and provided the average bone mineral density (in HU). If there was a VF in the L1 vertebra, the measurement was performed on the adjacent vertebrae (CT-scan performed similarly from T12 to L5)16. This ...
Nevertheless, errors in bone mineral density measurement and interpretation could occur and negatively affect the diagnosis and management of patients. These errors can result from improper equipment installation and maintenance, inadequate education and training in bone densitometry, and insufficient knowledge...
Channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus subjected to a diet deficient in vitamin C for 150 days showed a decrease in backbone collagen and hydroxyproline concentrations, whereas the mineral: Collagen ratio and bone density increased. These c... SJ Hamilton,PM Mehrle,FL Mayer,... - 《Transactions ...
in the phantom at the time of scanning to the measured spect count density per scan duration [ 30 ]. the dose calibrator used for cross-calibration was crc-15r (final calibration date by manufacturer: april 19, 2005). the dose calibrator was also confirmed and calibrated with a site-...
Bone mineral density BMMSCs: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells BV/TV: Bone volume/tissue volume CBSCs: Cortical bone-derived stem cells CFU-F: Colony-forming unit fibroblast DCF: 2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescein DCFH-DA: 2′,7′-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate DSBs: DNA double...
density of 0.413 g/cm3of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) was applied19,93. CTAn software v.1.16 was used for performing morphometric analysis for the selected VOIs of trabecular bone and allowed evaluating the following parameters: bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), ...
In addition, to validate the automation, robustness, and clinical applicability of our AI system, we also explore the clinical knowledge embedded in the large-scale CBCT dataset, i.e., the trajectory of tooth volume and density changes with ages of participants. It is worth noting that the tr...
