Loss of radiographic density reduces the diagnostic yield of radiographs. 9 Density is primarily determined by exposure factors. 9 Underdevelopment, however, can also produce a radiograph with ...

Using digital subtraction radiography (DSR) to assess the outcomes of partial caries removal in deep lesions over a 10-year period, researchers from Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil ...

Femoral neck bone mineral density can predict knee and hip radiographic osteoarthritis, and vertebral fractures are a risk factor for hand radiographic osteoarthritis, according to data published ...

Breast density refers to the amount of glandular and fibrous tissue (which absorb X-rays and hence appear white on radiographic images, so are called “X-ray-dense” tissues) ...

Although higher bone mineral density can reduce a patient’s risk for hip radiographic osteoarthritis, intermediate density could increase the risk for knee radiographic OA and symptomatic ...

X-rays of the hands at inclusion were available in 108 patients, and in 84 of these, bone mineral density was evaluated by DXR on the same digitised hand X-rays used for scoring radiographic joint ...

Think of it working like a temperature scale. A temperature of -2 is lower than a temperature of -1. In the same way, a T-score of -2.3 shows lower bone density than a score of -1.8. The T-score is a ...
