Bone Mineral Density Exam As An Indicator Of Fracture Risk Simplified.(Brief Article)
2001 OCT 18 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- CompuMed, Inc. presented findings of an investigation of phalangeal bone mineral density (BMD) in a normal Chinese population at the First International Conference on Bone Mineral Research, held in Beijing, China in September 2001.
The study, sponsored by CompuMed, was conducted using the OsteoGram, proprietary software that utilizes a standard x-ray machine to determine bone mineral density as an indicator of fracture risk.
Dr. Liu Zhonghou, a prominent medical expert on osteoporosis in China, conducted the study in conjunction with the China Osteoporosis Foundation.
"We were happy to find that the results of this study correlated highly with the bone mineral density results of the 40,000 Chinese Single-Photon Absorptiometry (SPA) forearm database investigated in the late 1980s. This is further proof that Radiographic Absorptiometry (RA) is a reliable and inexpensive method of assessing BMD, and thus phalangeal BMD determined from a standard hand x-ray using RA is an accurate way to predict fracture risk," stated Liu.
Liu studied phalangeal bone mineral density in a normal Chinese population. Phalangeal bone mineral density (BMD) is determined from a standard hand x-ray using radiographic ...
