4.0 out of 5 stars
A comprehensive guide to osteoporosis and its diagnosis,
By Roman Chechurin (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bone Densitometry and Osteoporosis (Hardcover)
The book focuses on both approaches to the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Along with the traditional methods of measuring bone density and bone mass, evolving techniques for assessment of bone quality and microarchitecture are comprehensively described. The latter include CT- and MRI-based high resolution techniques, somewhat less attention is given to quantitative ultrasound. Also discussed are such important aspects as clinical applications of bone densitometry and its use in children. The first half of the book however provides a useful insight into the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, risk factors of fracture and other related issues. Most valuable for practitioners interested in the assessment of osteoporosis and correct interpretation of the results of the different methods used in the field.
