Radiodensitometric and DXA analyses for the measurement of bone mineral density after systemic alendronate therapy

Radiodensitometric and DXA analyses for the measurement of bone mineral density after systemic alendronate therapy

Precise techniques for the measurement of maxillary bone mineral density (BMD) are useful for the early diagnosis of systemic diseases. The aim of this study was to compare in vivo the efficacy of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and radiographic densitometry for the measurement of BMD after s...
