ROLE OF DUAL ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY IN THE EVALUATION OF BONE MINERAL DENSITY AND BODY COMPOSITION IN CHILDREN
EHAB AHMED AL BADAWI SALIM;
Abstract
Decreased bone mineralization has been reported in a variety of pediatric disorders. In this essay we discussed the role of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry in detection and follow up the treatment of osteoporosis in the following pediatric disorders, osteogenesis imperfecta, chronic renal failure, inflammatory bowel disease, GH deficiency, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and with disorders requiring glucocorticoid therapy. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry allows a rapid accurate and highly reproducible assessment of the bone mineral content and body composition with very low radiation exposure.
