Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) using a single-beam (SB) design is a well-established procedure for measuring bone mineral area density (BMD). Recently, fan beam (FB) techniques have become available to measure BMD. We evaluated the QDR1000 and QDR2000 densitometers with regard to precision a

Recently, fan beam (FB) designs have been made available by several manufacturers (Aloka, Hologic Lunar and Sophar) to measure lumbar spine bone mineral area density (BMD) in both an anteroposterior (AP) and a lateral projection. The present study was performed to evaluate some characteristics of a
Forearm bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at proximal and distal sites by 125I single photon absorptiometry (SPA) and by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 67 consecutive subjects, aged 18-75 years. Correlations and regression equations between these two techniques were determined. All
