Popis:	Osteoporosis is a common problem after menopause. There are a number of methods to assess bone mass. Among them dual-energy X-ray absorpticmetry (DXA) is one with very low radiation and high precision1,2 but its discriminatory ability (Sensitivity and Specificity) in the diagnosis of osteoporosis is only fair.3,4,5 In the present study, an attempt was made to improve this sensitivity and specificity.
