Assessment of the effect of strontium, lead and aluminum on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and quantitative ultrasound using trabecular bone-mimicking phantoms
Abstract:Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard of bone densitometry. However, inaccurate estimation of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) is of concern when calcium in bone mineral is partially substituted with bone-seeking elements such as strontium, lead and aluminum. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) is an alternative bone densitometry technique that can assess bone health based on the measurement of acoustic parameters. This study aims to investigate the effect of the clinically relevant concentrat… Show more
