Could procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) and bone alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP) be valid alternative diagnostic markers to dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in elderly females with osteoporosis? An Egyptian radiological and laboratory monocentric study
BackgroundOsteoporosis is a major health problem of elders. Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the commonly used modality for diagnosis...

Association of Muscle Strength and Gait Speed with Cross-Sectional Muscle Area Determined by Mid-Thigh Computed Tomography — A Comparison with Skeletal Muscle Mass Measured by Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
BackgroundMuscle mass is often mentioned not to reflect muscle strength. For muscle mass assessment skeletal muscle index (SMI) is often used. We...

Predictive ability of novel volumetric and geometric indices derived from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometric images of the proximal femur for hip fracture compared with conventional areal bone mineral density: the Japanese Population-based Osteoporosis (JPOS) Cohort Study
SummaryAreal BMD (aBMD) from DXA is not a sufficiently accurate predictor of fracture. Novel volumetric BMD derived from 3D modeling of the hip from...
