This is a 65-yr-old woman with dermatomyositis and extensive calcinosis. On physical examination subcutaneous nodules were widely distributed on her chest and extremities. Her current CPK is 163 IU/L (normal range 0-175); however, with a recent flare of her...

The challenges of peripheral bone density testing: which patients need additional central density skeletal measurements?.

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry

Lower cost, portable, peripheral bone mass measurement devices are being increasingly utilized for widespread bone mass testing. These devices are being placed in traditional medical settings as well as nontraditional settings, such as pharmacies and grocery stores. Increased bone...

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of the heel predicts wrist and osteoporosis-related fractures in women age 45-75 years.

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry

Thompson PW, Taylor J, Oliver R, Fisher A.
PMID: 15304892
J Clin Densitom. 1998;1(3):219-25. doi: 10.1385/jcd:1:3:219.

This study was designed to determine the ability of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of the heel to predict fracture risk at different sites in postmenopausal women between the ages of 45 and 75 years. Heel QUS was measured at baseline...

A comparison of a peripheral DXA system with conventional densitometry of the spine and femur.

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry

Patel R, Blake GM, Jefferies A, Sautereau-Chandley PM, Fogelman I.
PMID: 15304894
J Clin Densitom. 1998;1(3):235-44. doi: 10.1385/jcd:1:3:235.

Because of the perceived high cost of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) studies of the spine and femur, there is renewed interest in small, low-cost X-ray devices for scanning the peripheral skeleton. We have compared forearm bone mineral density (BMD)...

Quantitative bone ultrasonometry in climacteric women.

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry

Gambacciani M, Benussi C, Cappagli B, Ciaponi M, Genazzani AR.
PMID: 15304903
J Clin Densitom. 1998;1(3):303-8. doi: 10.1385/jcd:1:3:303.

Quantitative bone ultrasound (QUS) measurement is an emerging technique in the assessment of osteoporosis risk. In this study, bone mineral density (BMD) (mg/cm2) of lumbar vertebrae, neck, Ward's triangle and trochanter were measured by DXA and the phalanx amplitude...

Dual Hip DXA. Is it Time to Change Standard Protocol?.

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry

Chen W, Khan Z, Freund J, Pocock N.
PMID: 34391641
J Clin Densitom. 2021 Jul 24; doi: 10.1016/j.jocd.2021.07.006. Epub 2021 Jul 24.

Previous studies have examined the utility of bilateral DXA hip bone mineral density (BMD) scans. While most studies demonstrate an advantage of bilateral hip scanning, the studies have been limited by size, or have not included simultaneous lumbar spine...

Uncoupling of Bone Turnover may Compromise Skeletal Health of Young Patients With Haemophilia A.

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry

Pergantou H, Papakonstantinou O, Xafaki P, Athanasopoulou H, Balanika A, Kattamis A, Doulgeraki A.

J Clin Densitom. 2021 Aug 04; doi: 10.1016/j.jocd.2021.07.011. Epub 2021 Aug 04.

There is evidence that bone mass is decreased and bone metabolism is dysregulated in children with haemophilia (CWH). The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of haemophilia on skeletal health in children, with regards to bone...

Poor Attendance for bone densitometry in patients at high risk of subsequent fragility fractures.

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry

J Clin Densitom. 2021 Aug 11; doi: 10.1016/j.jocd.2021.08.001. Epub 2021 Aug 11.

Several studies suggest that aging loss of bone mass is not necessarily associated with reduced mechanical proprieties as bending resistance. Since postmenopausal women with fracture and without osteoporosis might have an impairment in the bending mechanisms at hip, our...
