The bone density test result is presented in terms of T-score and Z-score. T-score indicates bone density values in comparison to ideal values. According to the World Health Organization, T-score values to determine bone density are: A Z-score shows your bone density values in comparison to...
The benefits of bone density specific reporting software, such as BoneStation, become apparent with electronic availability of DXA data. Software can calculate change in BMD, highlight if change is significant, calculate a FRAX score, and even suggest an interpretation. In addition, the data can ...
Background: Abnormal body composition, with low muscle mass and increased fat mass, as well as short adult stature are common features in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), as in growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Methods: We followed a cohort of 22 genetically verified patients with PWS from the sta...
Interpretation of hip fracture patterns using areal bone mineral density in the proximal femurdoi:10.1007/s00402-015-2326-3OsteoporosisBMDHipfractureIntroduction Bone mineral density scans are currently interpreted based on an average score of the entire proximal femur. Improvements in technology now ...

Interpretation of bone density results of different aged children can be facilitated by reporting results as a SD score or Z-score. A Z-score is defined 578 BONE DENSITY IN CHILDREN ON WARFARIN 579 as the number of SD above or below the mean using age- and sex-matched reference data. ...
specifying “Lesion parameters”, which then could be used as score categories; using a clear “Scoring definitions” will improve understanding of presented data and increase repeatability of scoring system; whenever possible, use “Interpretation Consistency” which imply that all the samples are sc...
Osteoporosis is a global health problem for ageing populations. The goals of osteoporosis treatment are to improve bone mineral density (BMD) and prevent fractures. One major obstacle that remains a great challenge to achieve the goals is how to select t
Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can be used to diagnose osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men aged > 50 years. The World Health Organization defines osteoporosis in these populations as a BMD at the spine, hip or forearm of 2.5 or ...
Abstract Within spinal surgery, low bone mineral density is associated with several postoperative complications, such as proximal junctional kyphosis, pseudoarthrosis, and screw loosening. Although modalities such as CT and MRI can be utilized to assess bone quality, DEXA scans, the “Gold Standard”...
