Digital X-ray radiogrammetry is a method for measuring bone mineral density (BMD). Digital X-ray radiogrammetry is based on the old technique of radiogrammetry . In DXR, the cortical thickness of the three middle metacarpal bones of the hand is measured in a digital X-ray image.
Digital radiography is a form of radiography that uses x-ray–sensitive plates to directly capture data during the patient examination, immediately transferring it to a computer system without the use of an intermediate cassette. [1] Advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer ...

Apr 11, 2024 · Digital radiography is based on capturing and storing the radiograph using discrete (digital) values 1 as opposed to conventional film radiography, which uses analog (continuous) values. It removes the requirement of dark room procedures. Terminology.
Oct 15, 2012 · Digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) is a technique that uses automated image analyses of standard hand radiographs, either in digital or conventional analog format, to estimate bone mineral density (DXR-BMD) [ 8, 11, 12 ]. DXR was first introduced into clinical practice in 1999 for osteoporosis assessment.

What is Known: • Digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) may correlate well with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in pediatric, adolescent, and adult patients. • DXR is a feasible method for assessment of bone quality in children. What is New:
Digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) is a computer-assisted diagnosis technique for quantifying cortical hand bone mineral density (BMD) as well as the metacarpal index (MCI) in the metacarpal bones from radiographs.
