The aim of the study is to evaluate bone quantity (aBMD) and bone quality as assessed by TBS in DMD subjects.43 boys and girls suffering from DMD with a mean age 10.5±3.7 years and height and weight z-score (Zc) medians of −0.67 and 0.25 S.D. were included in the study. Spine DXA scans were obtained using a GE Lunar iDXA with software v13.31. Lumbar spine trabecular bone texture (TBS) was determined using Med-Imaps cust...

The aim of the study is to evaluate, across time, if a bone microarchitectural texture modification exists or not and to evaluate its associations with other bone and body composition parameters.16 Spanish children suffering from DMD with a mean age 9.7±3.0 years and height and weight z-score of −0.76 and 0.16 SD were included in the study. Spine DXA scans and body composition scans were obtained using a GE Lunar Prodigy at baseline, ...
