Abstract
|
|
|
Early detection of osteoporosis is important and accurate evaluation for the progression and ressponse to therapy should be seriously monitored. Efforts have been made in the development of methods for quantitatively assessing the bone mass so
that
osteoporosis can be detected early.
There is no consensus on which method are most effective for the diagnosis and monitor of osteoporosis or screening of large populations. The selection of anatomic sites and methods for quantifying bone mass is considerably important. Knowledge
about
the proper use and interpretation of various bone densitometry studies is not universal among physicians. Discussions are focused on understanding instrumentation and interpretation of various technical performance of bone density measurement.
Dual
X-ray absorptiometry(DXA), Ddual photon absorptiometry(DPA) and quantitative computed tomography(QCT) and other methods measuring bone density are presented and their inherent limitations are discussed.
We anticipate that newer softwares ofinstrumentations will be available for a more accurate, versatile and convenient way ofmeasuring bone mineral density.
