Absorptiometry

In the current study, ... researchers used dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, which is a low dose x-ray known as DXA, to determine percent fat.

In the current study, rather than using other potentially biased methods employed in the past as "gold standards" to examine body composition, researchers used dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, which is a low dose x-ray known as DXA, to determine percent fat. ❋ Unknown (2009)

If you have a fracture after a minimal injury or have a family history you should suspect it, but you will only know for sure with a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan. ❋ Unknown (2011)

But then the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry DEXA or DXA scan, a machine that measures bone density at the hip, spine and forearm -- where fractures are most likely to occur -- was introduced. ❋ Susan M. Love (2012)

The researchers measured bone mineral content and density by dual-energy radiograph absorptiometry DXA. ❋ Unknown (2011)

A dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan is a test that takes measurements of the bone density in the lower spine and/or the hip. ❋ Unknown (2010)

BMI does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that it correlates well with direct measures of body fat, such as underwater weighing and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry analyses DEXA of BMD at the lumbar spine and proximal femur were made before and after eighteen months of participation in the trial. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

Experts are still debating who should receive bone density screening, and it remains unclear whether the benefits of tests such as dual energy x-ray absorptiometry [DXA] justify the cost of testing everyone. ❋ Unknown (2009)

DEXA Scans: The most effective method of determining body fat percentage is by using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, more commonly known as a DXA (or DEXA) scan. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Comparisons at age 37 were performed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. ❋ William Harryman (2007)
