Product Description

Download scientific diagram | Bilateral hip DXA scan image from a 59-year-old post-menopausal woman. The dominant arm did not match, but dominant leg did. The T-score for the lumbar spine was normal. If the patient had only had her left hip examined in accordance with the dominant arm, the conclusion would have been normal bone mineral density (BMD). Having both hips examined instead led to the conclusion of low bone density (LBD). from publication: Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry of Both Hips Helps Appropriate Diagnosis of Low Bone Mineral Density and Osteoporosis | Controversy still remains regarding the use of bilateral hip scanning when bone mineral density (BMD) is measured, and bilateral hip scanning is not mandatory in international guidelines for screening of osteoporosis. BMD of both hips and the lumbar spine was analyzed in 133 | Hip, Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry and Bone Mineral Density | ResearchGate, the professional network for scientists.
