ASSESMENT OF OSTEOPOROZIS WITH VERTEBRAL MEASUREMENTS

Abstract

Different methods are used recently in order to measure bone mass, bone densitometry and bone mineral value of the different parts of the skeleton. In this study simple conventional radiography and conventional radiography (BMD) was compared.Thirty-seven patients were included. Radiographic measurement of vertebral body height was compared with the bone mineral densitometric value of the same level.There was no difference between the BMD value and vertebral height loss statistically

OSTEOPOROZUN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİNDE VERTEBRAL ÖLÇÜMLER

Abstract

Günümüzde iskeletin değişik bölgelerinde kemik kütlesinin, kemik dansitesinin ve kemik mineral içeriğinin saptanması için çeşitli metodlar kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bu yöntemlerden en basiti olan konvansiyonel grafilerle, en gelişmiş teknik olan kemik mineral dansitometrisi arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırdık. Çalışamaya alınan 37 hastanın vertebra yükseklikleri konvansiyonel grafilerle ölçülüp aynı seviyedeki kemik mineral dansitometri değerleriyle karşılaştırıldı. Çalışma sonucunda; BMD değerleriyle vertebra yüksekliklerindeki kayıplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamadı.
