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 ...

For a sidebar on how this story came together, click here. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has long been the gold standard for osteoporosis screening. But now, thousands of patients may be ...

Spectrum Dynamics has developed a nuclear imaging system that can dramatically reduce the time medical scans take, and a patient’s exposure to radiation. Children can spend much less time in nuclear ...

New research at IDS-TILDA at the School of Nursing and Midwifery has led to improved outcomes for people with intellectual disabilities who are unable to access a traditional DXA bone scan.
