- Abstract
- Hip fracture has been recognized as the worst
consequence of osteoporosis, as it represents one of the most
important causes of disability and mortality in elderly
people. An accurate knowledge of the osteoporotic fracture
risk in asymptomatic individuals through population mass
screenings may be the only way to reduce the occurrence of
hip fractures. Aim of this study was to perform a
preliminary clinical validation of a new ultrasound (US)-
based method for bone densitometry directly applicable on
femoral neck. A total of 112 female patients were enrolled
for this study (61-75 years of age, body mass index
(BMI)<40 kg/m2) and all of them underwent two different
diagnostic investigations: a conventional DXA (dual-energy
X-ray absorptiometry) of the femoral neck and an US scan
of the same bone district, acquiring both echographic images
and unfiltered radiofrequency signals. US data were
analyzed by a new algorithm that calculated the same
diagnostic parameters obtained from DXA examination
(BMD, T-score, Z-score). Accuracy of each parameter
calculated by this algorithm was then evaluated through a
direct comparison with DXA results as a function of both
patient age and BMI. For 81.3% of the patients US
diagnosis (osteoporotic, osteopenic, healthy) coincided with
the corresponding DXA one and this accuracy level was not
appreciably influenced by patient age nor by BMI. The
illustrated method has the potential to be used for routine
population screening programs for early osteoporosis
diagnosis and hip fracture prevention. (literal)
