Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to measure bone mineral density (BMD) for diagnosis of osteoporosis - experimental data from artificial vertebrae confirms significant dependence on bone size

INTRODUCTION: The WHO definition of osteoporosis, and published BMD (Bone Mineral Density) references ranges, do not consider differences in bone size. Because it is a two-dimensional technique, and cannot measure bone depth, aBMD (areal BMD) measured using DXA (Dual-energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) is...
