Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements of spine and hip bone mineral
density (BMD)(referred to here as central DXA) have an important role as a clinical tool for …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

Meta-analysis of prospective studies shows that quantitative ultrasound of the heel using
validated devices predicts risk of different types of fracture with similar performance across …

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is commonly used in the care of patients for
diagnostic classification of osteoporosis, low bone mass (osteopenia), or normal bone …

We compared the performance of five QUS devices with DXA in a population‐based sample
of 2837 women. All QUS approaches discriminated women with and without osteoporotic …

Trabecular bone plays a significant role in maintaining bone structural integrity. Its density is
a significant determinant of bone strength and fracture risk, but there is still unexplained …

Background: There is increased interest in quantitative ultrasound for osteoporosis
screening because it predicts fracture risk, is portable, and is relatively inexpensive …
