BRANCE, María Lorena. Official position ISCD 2019: Bone Densitometry in pediatrics. Rev. argent. reumatolg. [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.1, pp.30-32. ISSN 0327-4411.

The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) convenes a Position Development Conference (PDC) to make recommendations for standards in the field of bone densitometry. This year 2019 the new official positions in pediatric bone health were published. Topics considered included relevant technical and clinical issues for dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), other bone evaluation technologies other than central DXA and the evaluation of vertebral fractures. In addition to the utility of the lumbar spine and total body less head, this year the recommendations add the utility of DXA in peripheral sites in children and adolescents.
