DEXA (DXA) or Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry is a non-invasive imaging modality based on exploiting the difference in the X-Ray attenuation of tissue and bone at different X- ray energies. Calcified tissues such as bone absorb X-Rays a lot more than soft or low density tissues such as lean

Volumetric density is mathematically defined as the mass per unit volume, i.e grams/cm3. Areal density, is derived from area based measurements and thus has units of mass per unit area, i.e grams/cm2. Imaging modalities such as micro-computed tomography or microCT generate images three-dimensionally. When properly calibrated against an X-Ray
