About this book

The second edition of Dr. Sydney Lou Bonnick’s text Bone Densitometry in Clinical Practice is an expansion of her highly regarded first edition, which has provided the bone densitometry community with simply the best, most accurate, and most precisely written resource in our field. Dr. Bonnick has applied her very careful and exact scientific approaches to expand and improve on her widely regarded initial text. In addition to the chapters in the first edition on the science of bone densitometry and its clinical appli- tion, this text has new chapters and a CD-ROM that come at a very critical time in our field. The clinical use of bone densitometry is increasing exponentially as more professional societies have endorsements and guidelines on the application of bone densitometry in the assessment and management of osteoporosis. The recent endorsement of population screening by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has now provided g- ernmental validation to this technology, whose proper use Dr. Bonnick has pioneered. In a new chapter, Dr. Bonnick compares the similarities and differences in the recent gui- lines from the USPSTF and the National Osteoporosis Foundation, American Assoc- tion of Clinical Endocrinologists, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the North American Menopause Society.

Reviews

"Compared with the first edition, this edition expands upon the data about the technical aspects of bone densitometry, the skeletal anatomy involved, and the statistical concepts of precision and accuracy as it relates to densitometry. In this edition, Dr. Bonnick also explores and evaluates clinical guidelines for selecting patients on whom to do bone density testing. The book discusses fracture risk assessment, disease states which can affect bone mass, and specifics regarding therapeutic interventions. Each chapter is an excellent review. The author is able to explain the necessary statistics involved in a way in which they make sense to the reader. The appendixes are an essential resource for anyone working with bone densitometry. This is an invaluable resource for each and every physician and technologist involved with bone densitometry, specialists and primary care providers alike. It is an invaluable resource and stands alone as the premier textbook of bone densitometry principles and application. The updates in the second edition make it an even more comprehensive source of easily accessible information for the reader."-Score: 100. Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"The second edition. . .is an expansion of her highly regarded 1st edition, which has provided the bone densitometry community with simply the best, most accurate, and most precisely written resource in our field. Once again Dr. Bonnick has applied her very careful and exact scientific approaches to expanding and improving on her widely regarded initial text. . .should be read by all physicians who are involved in the application of bone densitometry. . .The management of osteoporosis is truly moving into primary care. Hence, primary care physicians who either order or perform bone densitometry should read this text. The subspecialists who will manage the more complex osteoporotic cases should read it as well.:-Foreword by Paul D. Miller, MD, FACP, Colorado Center for Bone Research, Lakewood, CO
