Dexa scan

Manufactured by GE Healthcare

Sourced in Germany

The DEXA Scan is a diagnostic imaging technology used to measure bone density. It uses low-dose X-rays to assess the amount of bone mineral content in a specific area of the body, typically the spine, hip, or wrist. The DEXA Scan provides precise measurements that can be used to diagnose and monitor conditions related to bone health, such as osteoporosis.

Bone Mineral Density Evaluation Using DEXA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Bone mineral density of the patient was determined using whole body densitometer, DEXA Scan (GE Healthcare Lunar prodigy advance, scanner serial no. PA + 302343, software version– ENCORE 2008 version 12.2, Germany) in KLE hospital.
Bone mineral density values and T-scores of L1-L4 Lumbar spine were noted. Height and weight were measured at the time of DEXA measurement and body mass index (BMI) was calculated as the weight divided by the square of the height (kg/m²).

Additional sets of animals (see Supplemental Table S1) were used to assess their individual metabolic rate (O 2 consumption, CO 2 production, and respiratory exchange rate, RER), physical activity, as well as food and water consumption (Metabolic Chamber system, TSE PhenoMaster/LabMaster). To determine body composition (lean/fat mass), mice were subjected to dual energy X-ray absorptiometer scans (DEXAScan, GE Medical Systems Lunar PIXImus).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
