Could radiofrequency echographicmultispectrometry (REMS) overcomethe overestimation in BMD by dual-energy X-rayabsorptiometry (DXA) at the lumbar spine?
Abstract Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) and vertebral fractures at the lumbar spine lead to an overestimation of Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Recently, a new approach for osteoporosis diagnosis, defined as Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry (REMS), represents an innovative diagnostic tool that seems to be able to investigate bone quality and provide an estimation of fracture risk independent […]
