Research progress in osteoporosis assessment methods

摘要:

骨质疏松症主要是由于骨量丢失与降低、骨组织微结构破坏、骨脆性增加而引起的、容易导致骨折的一种全身代谢性骨病，它是影响我国中老年人骨骼健康的重要隐患。如何准确评估并及时预防骨质疏松症至关重要，近几年越来越多的学者关注于各种影像检查技术对骨质疏松症的评估，包括双能 X 线、计算机断层扫描、定量超声、磁共振成像等技术，本文对骨质疏松症评估的研究进展进行综述，为临床医生提供参考。

Abstract:

Osteoporosis (OP), a systemic metabolic bone disease with characteristics of bone loss and bone mass reduction, with bone tissue microstructure destruction and increase of bone fragility that is prone to fracture, is an important hidden danger affecting the bone health in the middle-aged and elderly people in China. Accurate assessment is crucial for prevent and treatment of OP. In recent years, more and more scholars have paid attention to the research of osteoporosis by various imaging techniques, including dual-energy X-ray, computed tomography, quantitative ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and other technologies. In this article the research progress regarding OP assessments is reviewed to provide a reference for clinicians.
