What are the T-score values used in DEXA, and how are they calculated? #BoneHealth #JointCare #HealthyBones #Osteoarthritis #BoneResearch #JointHealth #ImagingInnovation

T-scores help clinicians to interpret the measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) made using DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans and find out whether patients have osteoporosis or other bone health issues. T-score compares a patient’s BMD measurement to the average BMD of a group of healthy young adults of the same sex and ethnic background and is calculated using the following equation: T-score = (Patient's BMD - Mean BMD of Young Adult Reference Group) / (Standard Deviation of Young Adult Reference Group BMD) Why it matters: T-scores indicate the patient’s risk of suffering a fragility fracture and their bone health status. A lower T-score means weaker bones and a higher risk of fractures. T-score categories (as defined by the World Health Organisation) are normal: T-score ≥ -1.0: Osteopenia (low bone mass): T-score between -1.0 and -2.5; Osteoporosis: T-score ≤ -2.5; Severe Osteoporosis: T-score ≤ -2.5 with fractures.

PET/MRI of right knee of 36 year male having KL grade 0 showing high tracer uptake in medial central femur region (B) without any morphological changes in corresponding sagittal T2 SPIR image (A) also spatially correlated on fused PET/MRI image (C). Grade 1 osteophyte in lateral posterior tibial region in sagittal T1 TSE image (D) showing increased tracer uptake in PET (E) better appreciated on fused PET/MRI image (F). The T2 ∗ relaxometry cartigram overlayed on sagittal T2 SPIR image (G) showed mild changes in the cartilage of medial aspect of tibia (Green arrow for osteophytes and yellow arrow for region having intense tracer uptake without morphological changes). Physiological uptake was noted at tendon insertion sites on patella & tibial tuberosity.
