Dual-energy radiographic absorptiometry of the lumbar spine
Description
Dual-energy radiographic absorptiometry of the lumbar spine was performed in 300 subjects of both sexes ranging in age from 21 to 90 years. Two different systems were used (Hologic QRD-1000 and Lunar DPX). Data were derived for individual levels and for the entire spine. In a subgroup of patients, results were compared with those obtained by dual-photon absorptiometry of the lumbar spine with a Lunar DP3 system. There was a high correlation between results obtained by the three methods (r = .9, P < .0001), and data interconversion factors were calculated. Among patients with risk factors for osteopenia, bone density was significantly (P < .05) decreased as compared with age- and sex-matched controls
