Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry diagnostic discordance between Z-scores and T-scores in a young Iranian population
Background: Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is considered the gold standard for non-invasive measurement of bone mass. T-scores and Z-scores are used to present the results of bone mass. The present study was designed to evaluate the discordance between T-scores and Z-scores calculated at a same level and its relation with age, gender and body mass index (BMI) in a representative sampl...
متن کاملComparison of Bone Mineral Density Measured by Dual X-ray, Axial Dual-energy Photon X-ray Absorptiometry and Laser Absorptiometry of Calcaneus
The objective of this study was to validate the use of bone mineral measurements of the calcaneus bone by dual X-ray and laser (DXL) in a cross-sectional study carried out in an osteoporosis clinic. Measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) at proximal femur and spine were obtained by dual-energy photon X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Osteoporosis was defined by a DEXA T-score <-2.5 at the femora...

48 CMAJ, January 7, 2014, 186(1) © 2014 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors Two patients with grade III obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 40), a 31-year-old man (A) and a 26-year-old woman (B), underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on vertical banded gastroplasty. Both patients followed the same nutritional and postsurgical approach. After 12 months, both patients achieved a similar reduc...
متن کاملAssessment of bone mineral density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in pre- and post-menopausal women
Background: Osteoporosis is a chronic disease that contributes substantially to decrease physical activity and decline in the quality of life. Osteoporosis can be diagnosed easily with the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) equipment. The aim of this study was to investigate the magnitude of bone loss on proximal femur and lumbar spine LS in pre- and post-menopausal women f...
