Tracking of Spine BMD (Bone Mineral Density) in Infants Exposed to TDF (Tenofovir Disproxil Fumarate) Medication in Utero and/or during Breast Feeding
Background: Tracking bone mineral density (BMD) over time can is useful to monitor bone development in growing bones. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an ideal method for children because of its low radiation dose. However, movement during scans is a problem.
