1. <\/strong>A novel non-ionizing technology for bone densitometry and fracture risk prediction<\/strong><\/p>\n Conversano, D. Ciardo, F.A. Lombardi, P. Pisani, S. Casciaro<\/em><\/p>\n National Research Council, Institute of Clinical Physiology, Lecce, Italy<\/em><\/p>\n Highlight:<\/strong><\/p>\n This work reviews all the available literature about REMS technology published until May 2020; given the available scientific evidences, the authors conclude that REMS technology allows both to measure BMD and to provide insight into the bone micro-architecture without the use of X-rays, overcoming the main DXA limitations and opening up the possibility of early diagnosis of osteoporosis, of a wider access to bone health assessment also for specific categories such as paediatric patients and pregnant women.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Download pdf.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>New technology REMS demonstrated good accuracy for the diagnosis of osteoporosis defined by DXA, in Brazilian adult women<\/strong><\/p>\n D.M. Amos Amorim, E.N. Sakane, S.Setsuo Maeda, M. Lazaretti Castro<\/em><\/p>\n Federal University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil<\/em><\/p>\n Highlight:<\/strong><\/p>\n This study presents the results of a DXA-REMS comparison on 343 brazilian women. These results highlight on the one hand a good correlation between the two technologies in terms of sensitivity and specificity for both sites (femur and spine) and on the other hand a good level of precision and repeatability for REMS technology evaluated through the parameter RMS-CV (%) computed on both the anatomical sites of reference.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Download pdf.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>REMS technology a new diagnostic approach in patients with spine artifacts<\/strong><\/p>\n M.D. Tomai Pitinca, C.Caffarelli, S.Gonnelli<\/em><\/p>\n Department of Medicine, Surgery and Neuroscience, University of Siena, Siena, Italy<\/em><\/p>\n Highlight:<\/strong><\/p>\n This study compares densitometric estimates of DXA and REMS methods on 86 women with spine conditions (osteoarthritis, vertebral fractures, vertebroplasty) which are known to alter DXA BMD introducing an overestimation of such a parameter. For those women, while the measurements obtained on the femur with both techniques were very similar and highly correlated between each other, for the lumbar site REMS estimates were significantly lower than DXA ones hence evaluated as more accurate for patients with pathologies or conditions which have a negative influence on DXA results reliability.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
