Thousands of cancer patients will receive faster treatment thanks to new "state-of-the-art" radiotherapy machines, the ...

DEXA or DXA stands for “Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry,” which is a type of bone density technology. The DEXA machine takes a picture of your bones and calculates their density. Physicians commonly ...

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: DXA (dual-energy X-ray ...

Bone density tests are fairly quick. It is a painless, noninvasive exam that usually takes around 10 minutes, Baum says. As you lay down, the X-ray machine will take images of the hips and ...

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 ...

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.

An automated machine learning program has been able to identify potential cardiovascular incidents or fall and fracture risks based on bone density scans taken during routine clinical testing.

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.
