EOSedge vs DXA Imaging for Bone Density Measurement
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this research is to collect medical imaging data to allow for the comparison of bone mineral density measurements from two different types of low-dose x-ray exams, EOSedge and conventional DXA. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there agreement between the calculated T-scores between the 2 different types of x-ray exams?
Do I need to stop taking my current medications for this trial?
The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it does exclude participants who have been administered contrast agents or radionuclides within 7 days prior to imaging.
What data supports the idea that EOSedge vs DXA Imaging for Bone Density Measurement is an effective treatment?
The available research shows that DXA Imaging is a well-established method for measuring bone density, especially in people at risk for osteoporosis. It is effective in predicting fracture risk and guiding treatment decisions. However, there is no specific data provided about EOSedge Imaging in the context of bone density measurement, so we cannot compare its effectiveness directly to DXA Imaging based on the information available.12345
What safety data exists for DXA and EOSedge imaging for bone density measurement?
DXA imaging, including its variations like fan beam and cone beam systems, generally exposes patients to low levels of radiation, often comparable to a few microSv per examination. Studies indicate that the radiation dose from DXA is lower than standard radiographic procedures and poses negligible cancer risks, especially in pediatric cases. Staff exposure is also low, but protective measures like mobile lead screens may be necessary for newer systems. Quality assurance and certification programs are important to ensure accurate and safe DXA procedures. Specific data on EOSedge imaging is not detailed in the provided research, but it is implied to be a newer technology similar to DXA in terms of safety considerations.678910
Is DXA Imaging a promising treatment for measuring bone density?
Yes, DXA Imaging is a promising treatment for measuring bone density. It is the most widely used and trusted method for assessing bone health, especially in people at risk for osteoporosis. DXA provides accurate and precise measurements, helping in early detection and prevention of bone fractures.111121314
