DXA CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100%
SOLVED.
AP Spine - ANSWERSProvides an estimate of BMD for the lumbar _____
Femur/Dual Femur - ANSWERSProvides an estimate of proximal _____ BMD for one or
both ______ in one scan
FRAX Fracture Risk Tool - ANSWERSProvides estimates of 10-year probability of both
hip fracture and a major osteoporotic fracture for ages 40-90 years
Forearm - ANSWERSProvides an estimate of BMD for different regions of interest.
Seated or supine options.
ScanCheck - ANSWERSA 34-point check system that provides advanced analysis of
spine, femur, forearm and total body abnormalities, with alerts for abnormalities
(including high density areas, high spine curvature, unusual T-score and many more)
Atypical Femur Fracture (AFF) - ANSWERSImage of the entire femur with quantitative
measurements to identify areas of focal thickening along the lateral cortex
Orthopedic Knee - ANSWERSProvides an estimate of bone mineral density around
____ implants pre- and post-surgery
Spine Geometry - ANSWERSLateral and anterior views of the spine with soft tissue
equalization to assess spinal curvature using Cobb angles
Small Animal Body Scan - ANSWERSFor research use on laboratory animals and other
non-human subjects
Dual-energy Vertebral Assessment (DVA) - ANSWERSBoth LVA and APVA in one scan
to identify deformities and estimate vertebral heights. Lateral spine provides a lumbar
spine BMD estimate.
Trabecular Bone Score - Integrated TBS - ANSWERSProvides ___ score based on
assessment of trabecular region of bone, including FRAX-adjusted ___
Pediatrics - ANSWERSTotal body scan for BMD, BMC, fat and lean mass for patients
from birth to 20 years; optional spine and femur measurements
Orthopedic Hip - ANSWERSProvides and estimate of bone mineral density around ___
implants and visualizes 7 or 19 Gruen zones
