Bone mineral density
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Bone mineral density is defined as amount of mineral (calcium hydroxyapatite) per unit of bone.
Measurement
It can be measured by various methods:
- gamma rays: replaced by radiographic methods
- single-energy photon absorptiometry
- dual-energy photon absorptiometry
-
Xx-rays- single-energy x-ray absorptiometry
- dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
- quantitative computed tomography
- radiogrammetry
- ultrasound
- calcaneal ultrasonography
- MRI
- spectroscopy
- quantitative magnetic resonance imaging
