Double energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is one of the successfull methods for determinating the bone mineral contents.Bone mineral density (BMD) of eighty eight volunteers (forty-one cases were male and forty-seven cases were female) were measured by the DEXA method . QDR-1000 (Hologic co.) were used in measuring the ulnar and radial BMD.The following results were obtained. 1) In the female, the ulnar and radial BMD severely decreased after post menopause . This pattern was similar to the results of the vertebral bone mineral contents . 2) Measuring the ulnar and radial BMD by the DEXA method enabled us to evaluate osteoporosis .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
