Bone mineral density measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for diagnosis of osteoporosis. However, DXA interpretation can be influenced by analytic errors which can, in turn, interfere with diagnostic accuracy. One such source of potential error is the accurate id...
Bone union was evaluated using X-ray imaging. Of the FG-labeled neurons, the proportions of GAP43- and CGRP-immunoreactive (IR) neurons in Group A were significantly higher than in Group D ( P 0.05). PLF is strongly related to the downregulation of GAP43 and CGRP expression. Therefore, ...
Dice index and Intersection over Union (IOU) were used to measure the similarity between the segmented IVD-related areas and the manual labeled boundaries. Consistency evaluation on IVD-parameter quantitation In our study, accuracy in segmentation performance and consistency in IVD quantitative analysis ...
Plain x-ray provides vital information regarding the effect of axial loading on spinal biomechanics. Typical findings include osteophyte formation and reduced disk height. The lower limit of the normal lumbar spinal canal AP range on x-ray is 15 mm. Interlaminar space size on plain radiographs can...
Bone union was evaluated using X-ray imaging. Of the FG-labeled neurons, the proportions of GAP43- and CGRP-immunoreactive (IR) neurons in Group A were significantly higher than in Group D (P < 0.05). The proportions of GAP43- and CGRP-IR neurons in bone union rats in Group B were ...
Retrospective cohort study. To validate computed tomography (CT) radiodensity in Hounsfield units (HU) as a prognostic marker for pedicle screw loosening or cage subsidence in minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF). The retro

Methods. Before BMD measurements, the bone scan with technetium-99m labeled diphosphonate was carried out in all of the men to evaluate lumbar spine metastases. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry was used to measure BMD in the lumbar spines. Results. There was no difference of age, height, ...

The purpose of the present open-labeled, randomized, prospective study was to compare the effects of cyclical etidronate combined with alfacalcidol with those of cyclical etidronate alone on lumbar bone mineral density (BMD), bone resorption, and back pain in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. ...
