Summary: This review presents the advances in the practical application of dental panoramic radiography (DPR) for predicting early onset of osteopenia and osteoporosis. The evaluation of the inferior border of the mandible and the trabecular bone within the mandible can help identify early signs of osteopenia and patients at risk for osteoporosis.

Summary: This study assessed the prevalence and clinical characteristics of osteoporosis in Chinese patients with PBC. The results showed that osteoporosis is very common in PBC patients, with older age, lower BMI, previous steroid therapy, and advanced liver disease being the main independent risk factors.

Summary: Chronic pancreatitis patients have a high prevalence of osteopathy, with older age, female sex, white race, and underweight body mass index category being associated with a higher probability of osteopathy.

Summary: Osteoporosis is a prevalent skeletal disorder that decreases bone strength and increases the risk of fragility fractures. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the preferred method for evaluating bone mineral density, but clinical and technical considerations must be taken into account to avoid misdiagnosis.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the impact of discordance in trochanter and total hip bone density on fracture risk. The results showed that discordance in trochanter and total hip T-scores affected fracture risk independent of fracture probability scores.

Summary: This literature review examined the capability of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to accurately identify low bone mass density in women. Ten studies were analyzed and the results showed that CBCT has good sensitivity and specificity in predicting osteoporosis. CBCT grayscale values were compared with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scores, which strengthened the accuracy of CBCT's diagnostic capability. It is considered a feasible predictive tool for detecting patients at risk of osteoporosis.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of qualitative and quantitative indexes in panoramic radiographs and CBCT images for assessing bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. The results showed significant correlations between various indexes in both types of images and vertebral and femoral T-scores.

Summary: Bone accrual in childhood affects bone health later in life. Early loss of bone strength can lead to health issues and lower quality of life in childhood and adolescence. Improved assessment tools and treatment options, along with awareness of fracture history and risk factors, have enhanced the detection and management of bone fragility in children globally.

Summary: BatchBMD is a rule-based automated reporting system that accelerates the generation of DXA reports and improves accuracy. Compared to a Web-based reporting system, BatchBMD outperforms in reporting time and accuracy, significantly reducing workload for radiologists and technicians.

Summary: Studies in animal science show that DXA measurements may not perfectly match dissections or chemical analyses, requiring calibration equations. Predictions related to body composition and single nutrient content in pigs show promising results, with potential for creating generic regression equations that yield reliable estimates. DXA could be a useful tool for high-throughput phenotyping in genetic studies, efficiently measuring body composition in a wide range of animals.

Summary: In this study, the authors assessed the diagnostic discordance between lumbar osteoporosis detected by QCT and DXA, and evaluated their predictive performance for prevalent vertebral fracture. The results showed that in older patients undergoing spinal surgery, QCT-vBMD is more helpful than DXA in terms of osteoporosis detection rate and prediction of patients with prevalent VFs.

Summary: This study examined the association between antipsychotic medication use and bone mineral density (BMD). The results showed that the use of antipsychotic medication was associated with reduced BMD in younger women, but not in older women or men.
