MEASUREMENT METHODS - ANNOTATIONS

The Clinical Measurement Ontology (CMO), Measurement Methods Ontology (MMO), and Experimental Condition Ontology (XCO) are currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database. For more information about these vocabularies please see Shimoyama et al. Three ontologies to define phenotype measurement data. Front Genet. 2012;3:87. Epub 2012 May 28 or contact us (http://rgd.mcw.edu/contact/index.shtml).

Definition:A scanning technique which directs alternating X-ray energy from two separate sources (high energy and low energy) towards bone at a set frequency. The amount of these x-rays that pass through the bone is measured for each beam and bone mineral density is determined based on the difference of the two transmitted X-ray beams.
Synonyms:related_synonym: DEXA;   DXA;   bone densitometry;   bone density scanning
