—Although FRAX does not have specific inputs for cancer and cancer treatments, may be an accurate predictor of fracture risk in patients with cancer, especially when BMD is included. Fractures due to ...

Key deficits in bone microarchitecture of trabecular and cortical bone structure, as measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (CT), can predict risk of fracture in older ...

Photo MRI lumbosacral spine pathology. Radiologist indicated on possible pathology or disease of image of spine lumbosacral MRI such as sciatica, protrusion of disc, pinched nerve, hernia, stenosis ...

Bone mineral density at the femoral neck and total hip is a potential surrogate for fracture risk in clinical trials of osteoporosis drugs, according to findings presented at the American Society for ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Femoral neck BMD was better at predicting hip fractures for women aged 80 years and older than two fracture risk ...

A single measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck in women 67 years of age and older predicts a woman's risk of having either a nonvertebral or hip fracture over the next 20 to 25 ...

Differences in bone density and FRAX fracture risk scores among Black and Asian women yield greater discordance in fracture risk estimation compared with White women. Objectives: Bone mineral density ...

Heredity determines up to 80% of the variance in BMD, a known determinant of fracture risk. Mutations in LRP5 and LRP6 (which encode LDL-receptor-related proteins 5 and 6) are known to cause rare ...

The diagnosis of osteoporosis is typically determined by bone mass density (BMD); however, bone turnover markers (BTMs) can provide information involving the bone remodeling process. A recent study ...
