Osteodensitometry and Bone Remodeling Parameters
摘要
All relevant functional tests are explained with a detailed presentation of indications, contraindications, side effects, test preparation, framework conditions, concrete instructions for the actual test execution, and the interpretation of test results. Specific normal ranges and cut-off values are always provided, even for special situations (gender, age, BMI, puberty phases, cycle phases, acute illnesses, medications, etc.). A special feature is the emphasis on test preparation, execution, and interpretation, as well as the interdisciplinary nature. Osteodensitometry is discussed in a practical manner with image and report examples, and bone remodeling parameters are also explained.
