This review covers non-invasive bone mineral quantifying methods for metabolic bone diseases like osteoporosis. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is highlighted as the current leading method due to its excellent performance.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics and Bone Metabolism
  • Radiology and Medical Imaging

Context:

  • Metabolic bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, pose significant challenges in evaluating skeletal health.
  • Non-invasive bone mineral quantifying methods are crucial for clinical assessment and diagnosis.

Purpose:

  • To review various non-invasive bone quantifying methods for metabolic bone diseases.
  • To discuss the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of different bone densitometry techniques.
  • To highlight the role and performance of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in osteoporosis diagnosis.

Summary:

  • The paper reviews non-invasive methods for assessing bone pathophysiology in metabolic bone diseases.
  • It details the principles, measurements, precision, and radiation doses of different techniques.
