Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Surgery

Thomas Lang focuses on Osteoporosis, Bone mineral, Bone density, Internal medicine and Quantitative computed tomography. In general Osteoporosis study, his work on Femoral neck and Risedronic acid often relates to the realm of Poison control, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Thomas Lang has included themes like Hip fracture, Nuclear medicine, Calcaneus, Bone disease and Biomedical engineering in his Bone mineral study.

His Bone density study combines topics in areas such as Body mass index, Dentistry and Osteopenia. His Internal medicine research includes themes of Endocrinology, Surgery and Cardiology. His Quantitative computed tomography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cortical bone, Femur, Cohort and Bone resorption.

His most cited work include:

  • The Effects of Parathyroid Hormone and Alendronate Alone or in Combination in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (895 citations)
  • Noninvasive assessment of bone mineral and structure: state of the art. (813 citations)
  • Cortical and trabecular bone mineral loss from the spine and hip in long-duration spaceflight. (632 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Thomas Lang spends much of his time researching Bone mineral, Osteoporosis, Quantitative computed tomography, Bone density and Internal medicine. His studies deal with areas such as Hip fracture, Surgery, Urology, Cortical bone and Bone remodeling as well as Bone mineral. His study in the fields of Femoral neck and Bone disease under the domain of Osteoporosis overlaps with other disciplines such as Spaceflight.

His research integrates issues of Biomechanics, Nuclear medicine, Image registration, Radiology and Biomedical engineering in his study of Quantitative computed tomography. His research investigates the connection between Bone density and topics such as Body mass index that intersect with issues in Obesity. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Gastroenterology, Pathology, Endocrinology and Cardiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Bone mineral (31.51%)
  • Osteoporosis (31.16%)
  • Quantitative computed tomography (29.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Bone mineral (31.51%)
  • Quantitative computed tomography (29.45%)
  • Osteoporosis (31.16%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Bone mineral, Quantitative computed tomography, Osteoporosis, Bone density and Internal medicine. Thomas Lang has researched Bone mineral in several fields, including Hip fracture, Femur, Cortical bone, Orthodontics and Femoral neck. His Quantitative computed tomography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Proximal femur, Fracture risk, Scanner, Reproducibility and Biomedical engineering.

The Osteoporosis study combines topics in areas such as Nuclear medicine, Radiology and Bone marrow. His Bone density research includes elements of Cancellous bone, Logistic regression and Urology. The various areas that Thomas Lang examines in his Internal medicine study include Endocrinology and Cardiology.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Large meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies five loci for lean body mass (75 citations)
  • Clinical Use of Quantitative Computed Tomography-Based Finite Element Analysis of the Hip and Spine in the Management of Osteoporosis in Adults: The 2015 ISCD Official Positions-Part II (69 citations)
  • Adipose Tissue Density, a Novel Biomarker Predicting Mortality Risk in Older Adults (61 citations)
