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...

Background: Bone mineral density has been assessed using Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry. is measured according to the results of Absorptiometry examination vertebral column and pelvis. Although diabetes mellitus type II (DM) known affect bone density, at present time this particular relationship not clear. Objective: The aim current study was evaluate effects on upper lower limbs as well gend...

INTRODUCTION Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is rarely utilized in the clinical care of patients with complex regional pain syndrome, but may be useful for the non-invasive determination of regional bone fragility and fracture risk, as well as muscular atrophy and regional body composition. This is the first report in the literature of complex regional pain syndrome and musculoskeletal co-morb...
