Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an important new body composition method that is based on tissue attenuation of two main photon energies. When the two photon energies pass through tissue, attenuation at the lower energy compared with that at the higher energy can expressed as a ratio (R), which is used for tissue component identification.

Abstract

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an important new body composition method that is based on tissue attenuation of two main photon energies. When the two photon energies pass through tissue, attenuation at the lower energy compared with that at the higher energy can expressed as a ratio (R), which is used for tissue component identification.
