Evaluation of bone mineralization in former preterm born children: Phalangeal quantitative ultrasound cannot replace dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry

BACKGROUND: Preterm infants are at risk of impaired bone health in later life. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry-scan (DXA) is the gold standard to determine bone mineralization. Phalangeal quantitative ultrasound (pQUS) is an alternative technique that is inexpensive, easy to use and radiation-free....
