| Bone mass was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and covariables that may have influenced fat and bone mass were taken into account. |
| Several different types of scans are available, including ultrasound, computerized tomography and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. |
| Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and proximal femur were measured with dual energy x ray absorptiometry. |
| Total body, lumbar and hip BMD were evaluated at baseline, six and 12 months using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. |
| Bone mineral density was assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry before treatment, and at one and two years. |
| Applying this method to the absorptiometry, higher sensitive determination than titration method have been carried out. |
