Densitometria pediàtrica
La densitometria pediàtrica permet un ampli seguiment de la salut òssia infantil, incloent:
- Estudi de la densitat mineral òssia en columna, fèmur proximal i cos sencer.
- Estudi de composició corporal, analitzant els tres tipus de teixits –ossi, greixós i magre-, podent ajudar a la monitorització del creixement i desenvolupament infantil.
