Thoracic Kyphosis and the DEXA for Bone Density
I am planning on doing a study involving thoracic kyphosis and bone
mineral density of the thoracic spine. I have searched Medline and have
not found any studies that specifically use the DEXA to check the Thoracic
spine and its relationship to thoracic kyphosis. If anyone knows of any
such studies (or why there are none?) please email me any information.
I have seen several that use radiographs, or that have looked at the lumbar
spine.
Thanks
