Article Synopsis
- The introduction of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in the 1980s transformed how osteoporosis is diagnosed and managed globally.
- DXA results can be impacted by various technical factors, including instrument quality, patient positioning, and the interpretation of T-scores and Z-scores.
- This report aims to highlight important technical and clinical elements of DXA use and discusses how to better integrate these practices into clinical settings, along with considering non-bone mineral density measurements.
The introduction of smaller footprint, more sensitive Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride (CZT)-based detectors with improved spatial and energy resolution has enabled the design of innovative full-ring 360° CZT SPECT/CT systems (e.g., VERITON and StarGuide™).

Bone scintigraphy with SPECT(/CT) is commonly used to diagnose UCH and guide treatment. Still, varying results have been reported using the traditional threshold of 55%:45% in relative tracer uptake.

Since their discovery as bioorthogonal reaction partners, novel TCO derivatives have been developed to improve their reactivity, stability, and hydrophilicity, thus expanding their utility in diverse applications.
Main Body: TCOs have garnered significant interest for their applications in biomedical settings.
