After Debra cracked both a tooth and a bone in her foot in the same year, a scan revealed she had osteopenia. We explain how ...

If you’re someone who’s at risk for developing osteoporosis, you’re probably well-accustomed to receiving regular bone density tests. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) is a ...

Two types of machines can measure bone density. Central machines test it in the hip, spine , and total body. Doctors can use them to do different types of bone density tests: ...

But for medical grade analysis, the best place to turn is a DEXA scan. This machine uses low-level X-rays to determine a person's bone density and overall body composition.

Machine learning for abdominal aortic calcification assessment from bone density machine-derived lateral spine images. eBioMedicine , 2023; 104676 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2023.104676 Cite This Page : ...

This study shows that we can use widely available, low-radiation bone density machines to identify women at high risk of cardiovascular disease, which would allow them to seek treatment.

Researchers have used machine learning to assess bone density scans for calcification in the aorta, the body’s main artery. They say their method could be used to predict future cardiovascular ...
