Most common bone densitometry is? two other types are? - ✔️✔️Most common is dual
energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and two others are quantitative computed
tomography or ultrasound
DEXA advantages - ✔️✔️Low radiation dose, readily available, simple to use, short
scan time, high resolution images, precise, and stable calibration
What technique is BMD - ✔️✔️subtraction technique. BMD is measured without soft
tissue. two different X-ray photon energies will pass through the patient. The
measurements received are calculated by software.
Peak bone mass is typically reached by what age? - ✔️✔️20 to 30 years old
Bone mass - ✔️✔️Amount of mineral in bone (total)
Bone mineral content - ✔️✔️Bone mineral of total area or region of interest (one
specific region)
Bone mineral density - ✔️✔️Bone mineral per unit of region of interest (per unit)
Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) - ✔️✔️Non-ionizing technique, done for os calcis
(calcaneus)(most common), used for pediatrics
Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT) - ✔️✔️8 to 10 mm slices through four
separate vertebral bodies or 20 to 30 continuous 5 mm slices over two or three vertebral
bodies
Osteoporosis - ✔️✔️A disease characterized by low bone mass and structural
deterioration (gradual) of bone tissue. Types: primary (type 1 and 2) and secondary
caused by malnutrition
Bone densitometry - ✔️✔️A general term used to describe the art and science of
measuring bone mineral content and density of specific skeletal sites or the whole body.
Trabecular bone - ✔️✔️Higher surface area to mass ratio than cortical. contains red
bone marrow
Cortical bone - ✔️✔️Outer shell of bones and support weight and resist bending.
