If your doctor thinks cancer may have spread to your bones, a test called a bone scan can help them learn more. What is a ...

The build-up of calcium in a major blood vessel is linked with a 39 per cent higher risk of serious falls in older women, new Edith Cowan University (ECU) research has found. This calcium build-up, ...

Researchers have used machine learning to assess bone density scans for calcification in the aorta, the body’s main artery. They say their method could be used to predict future cardiovascular and ...

DEXA scans—which stands for dual x-ray absorptiometry—measure bone density by passing a high- and low-energy x-ray beam ...

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that’s common in the United States, affecting almost 20 percent of women and 5 percent of men over age 50. Osteoporosis occurs when bones are weakened by hormone shifts ...

If you’re someone who’s at risk for developing osteoporosis, you’re probably well-accustomed to receiving regular bone density tests. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) is a radiologic ...

Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) are developing an artificial intelligence algorithm that can use bone density scans captured to detect potential spine fractures to estimate visceral fat ...

Researchers can now assess a person’s risk of developing late-life dementia using data from a common type of bone density scan. The long-term study revealed calcification within the abdominal aorta ...

Studies show that resistance exercises for bone health are essential for maintaining and improving bone density. This may ...
