bone mineral density scans

What Methods are Used to Measure BMD in Children?

Several techniques can be used to measure BMD in children:
Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA): The most commonly used method, which provides precise measurements of bone density.
Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS): A radiation-free alternative, often used for screening purposes.
Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT): Offers detailed images and can measure bone geometry as well as density.
