## Abstract We studied bone mineral status using dualβenergy Xβray absorptiometry (DXA) on 150 singleton newborn infants with birth weights 1002β3990 g and gestational ages (GA) 27β42 weeks. Eightyβfive infants were preterm (<38 weeks), and 79 infants were low birth weight (β€2500 g). In addition, w
Two dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) systems--the Hologic QDR-1000 and the Norland XR-26 bone densitometers--were evaluated in terms of precision, accuracy, linearity of response, X-ray exposure, and correlation of in vivo spinal measurements. In vitro precision and accuracy studies were perf
