2011, Journal of BiomechanicsCitation Excerpt :In circumstances where central BMD is not available, the 1/3 radius T-score may be used. Peripheral BMD can be used to assess fracture risk, but device- and site-specific cut points must be used for highest fracture risk accuracy (Miller et al., 2002). Distal radius aBMD is significantly correlated with aBMD measured at both lumbar spine and total hip (r=0.54 and 0.60, respectively, p<0.001) (Liu et al., 2010).
Assess the discrimination of Achilles InSight calcaneus quantitative ultrasound device for osteoporosis in Chinese women: Compared with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry measurements
2010, European Journal of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :However, DXA devices are relatively expensive and are hospital-based facilities. In recent years quantitative ultrasound (QUS) has been established as an alternative technique for the assessment of bone status [5–12], and the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) has recommended QUS to be a useful screening tool to identify those patients who should be considered for spine and hip density measurements [13]. QUS has several advantages including radiation free, low cost and portability.
The ability of hand digital X-ray radiogrammetry to identify middle-aged and elderly women with reduced bone density, as assessed by femoral neck dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
2010, Journal of Clinical DensitometryCitation Excerpt :The disadvantage of this method is the rather low sensitivity and specificity to identify individuals with reduced bone density. In an earlier report, The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) recommended for peripheral measurements a single cutoff with 90% sensitivity to identify individuals with T-score ≤ −2.5 SD, whereas those with bone density values less than the threshold value should be reassessed with axial DXA (16). If this approach had been applied on our cohort using only the upper threshold, 43% would be likely to not have T-score ≤ −2.5 SD at the femoral neck and, as such, not need referral for a central DXA.
