BACKGROUND: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been used extensively to measure body composition, but has been validated by comparison to chemical analysis on relatively few occasions.

Systematic review looks at which DXA-based measurements can be used to help identify patients at increased risk of fracture Increased risk of fracture has been shown to be one of the complications ...

OsteoSys’ iNSiGHT dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanner (with a 25-second scan time) can successfully deliver reproducible data for measuring global and local alterations in rat and mouse ...

This module is about the measurement of bone density and body composition using the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) technique. DXA differs from many body composition techniques commonly used in ...
