Imaging diagnosis is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques to perform diagnosis. In diagnostic imaging various methods are used such as direct absorption of photons - SPA and DPA, radiographic photometry, the dual-energy radiographic absorptiometry - DEXA, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and optical densitometry in radiographic image. The dog can be considered one of the most widely used animals in the study of bone diseases and searching for a reliable diagnosis, although not an ideal model for the study of osteoporosis, because these animals tend not to develop a decrease in bone mineral density. The objective of this study was to analyze bone density in mongrel dogs from the determination of the variation of density along the radio-ulna bone and also the mean value related to gender, weight and age of individuals. The density analysis carried out showed that for this data set, there is a significant difference in the case of gender and age of the animal and may generalize according to these variables. The only significant difference was found in the weight, which increases bone mass is related to weight gain through the growth of the animal

Exercise, in general have the ability to promote health, reduce loss of physical fitness, reduce declines in body composition and prevent disease, and promote improvements in athletic performance, and that's consensual today. Through analysis of body composition and physical fitness, you can diagnose the possible individuals at risk of developing diseases, and fractures caused by falls in the elderly. The DXA tests were used (densitometry by dual beam X-ray) to assess body composition and regional, 1 RM test to evaluate the maximum strength and girth measurements, diameters and skin folds in order to analyze the balance of power muscle with both body composition as regional. The results showed that the variance in bone mass between older content related to the change in the maximum muscular strength of the upper and lower limbs, but the force values are not related to increased muscle mass. The development of muscle strength fulfills a dual function in aging which is to maintain or reduce the rate of loss of lean body mass, and also so the body bone health

Purpose: to radiographically evaluate the distance between mandibular lingula and the exact spot where buccal and lingual cortical bone plates merge in the mandibular ramus. Materials and Methods: 54 dry mandibles, divided into 3 subgroups (SG1: dentate, SG2: partially dentate and SG3: edentulous) were used in this study. Lingula position was marked with a metallic sphere and radiographs were taken. The distance between mandibular notch and lingula (I/L) and the distance between mandibular lingula and cortical bone plates fusion (L/FC) were measured. Statistical analysis was applied to the values obtained. Results: mean values for L/FC were 8,18mm, 7,30mm and 8,98mm for SG1, SG2 e SG3 respectively. Moreover, mean values for I/L were 14,02mm, 13,90mm and 12,34mm for SG1, SG 2 and SG3 respectively. The results also showed that cortical bone plates fusion took place in half I/L distance in 28,57% of the mandibles in SG1, in 46,67% of the mandibles in SG2 and in 9,09% of the pieces in SG3. Conclusions: there were no statistically significant differences in the height where cortical bone plates took place in all 3 subgroups. In SG3, the correlation between the mean value for L/FC and the mean value for I/L suggests a reduction in bone density and bone mass, which can correlate to the evaluation of older mandibles in this subgroup.

The sodium alendronate (AS), considered as inhibitor in the osteoclasts- mediated bone resorption, promotes final effect of inhibition of resorption and increases bone mass. The objective of this research was to assess, by histomorphometry, the effect of sodium alendronate in repair bone of ovariectomized rats, in which there was performed a bone defect in the right tibia. The treated rats received a subcutaneous injection of sodic alendronate once a week, at 0.7 mg / kg, diluted with saline solution; the controls received the same volume of saline solution. In the periods of 16, 30 and 44 days after the first dose of AS, the animals were sacrificed, the right tibia was removed and processed for histomorphometric analysis. Four non-serial fields were used for the density volume quantification utilizing an integrative eyepiece with 25 points, totalizing 100 points per animal. Based on the results, the present study concludes that the ovariectomy induced osteoporosis and that the AS stimulated the bone formation. In addition, the ovariectomy decreased the estrogen levels. However, this procedure did not significantly influence the action of sodic alendronate.

Food restriction reduces body weight and influence bone mass and also is correlated with bone mineral density (BMD). Mechanisms have been proposed for the loss of BMD after body weight reduction, including reduced energy intake. Growing 8 wk-old Wistar male rats were randomly divided into Control and Calorie restriction associated with sucrose 30% (CRS). These animals were subjected to intermittent food restriction during 8 weeks and had free access to tap water and sucrose30% in distilled water. The rats were euthanized at the end of week 8, blood collected from abdominal aorta artery, femurs cleaned of adherent soft tissues, scanned using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, structural and material properties determined by three-point bending testing in the mid-diaphyseal region, bone surface tested in a microhardness tester and microstructure was assessed in a microcomputer tomography. In CRS animals body weight decreased significantly relative to the Control animals. There was a clear option for high-sucrose beverage in CRS animals. No difference was observed in biochemical, densitometric and biomechanical analyzes. Results from micro CT showed only significant difference in connectivity of trabecular bone. It has been suggested that rats submitted to food restriction consumed sugar not because of its inherent palatability, but in order to alter their macronutrient balance and animals need to meet energy demands in high-sucrose.
