Abstract:Bone mineral density is the main basis for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. The measurement methods of bone mineral density include dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), quantitative computer tomography (QCT), quantitative ultrasound (QUS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and so on. Currently, bone mineral density measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are biochemical products that reflect the activity of bone cells and … Show more
