Potential of densitometric measurement in selected pediatric subject.

On the aim to recognize bone mineral measurements as somatic development parameter as well as its clinical usefulness in pediatric clinic, the investigations with of DPX-L were performed. Material consisted of 302 healthy scholars both sex and 85 patients aged 6.0-18.9 yrs children diagnosed as idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (IJO) and osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Total body mineral density (TBBMD) was evaluated as developmental parameter in normal children population and utilized in differential diagnosis and monitoring of bone pathology in children with IJO and OI.
