Pediatric Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry: Technique, Interpretation, and Clinical Applications
چکیده انگلیسی

This article reviews the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) technique, its interpretation, and clinical applications with emphasis on the considerations unique to pediatrics. Specifically, the use of DXA in children requires the radiologist to be a “clinical pathologist,” monitoring the technical aspects of the DXA acquisition, a “statistician” knowledgeable in the concepts of Z-scores and least significant changes, and a “bone specialist,” aware of the DXA findings in a large number of clinical diseases, providing the referring clinician with a meaningful context for the numeric result obtained with DXA.
