Dual-energy digital radiography in the assessment of bone characteristics
Abstract Today, the diagnosis of osteoporosis and assessment of fracture risk is based on estimation of bone mineral density (BMD) determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). A lack has been shown in the prediction of individual fracture risk using DXA-based BMD (BMDDXA). Digital radiogra...
