Internal Design of the Dry Human Ulna by DXA

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been used to study dry bones such as spine, femur, jaw... to detect the first onsets of the ossification centers; In clinical practice, DXA is widely used for diagnosis and evaluation of osteoporosis, and a new generation of DXA scanners offers software for performing vertebral morphometry analysis (Blake & Fogelman, 1997). Also, many bone analyses have been performed on experimental animals using DXA (Tsujio et al., 2009).
