Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) has transformed the evaluation of bone mineral density (BMD), serving a vital function in diagnosing osteoporosis, assessing fracture risk, and monitoring the efficacy of treatment protocols. This chapter analyzes the influence of DEXA on bone health management and discusses DEXA technology, outlining its principles, clinical uses, advancements, limitations, and prospective developments in contemporary medical practice.
