Methods: The study was conducted on 115 patients. All the patients underwent QUS of radius using Sunlight MiniOmni bone sonometer and DEXA screening for measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) at lumbar spine, total left & femoral neck and radius. Results: Significant correlations were observed between QUS and DEXA T score. Conclusions: QUS is a sensitive screening tool to detect changes in the bone mass and risk of osteoporosis. Keywords: Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, Osteoporosis, Quantitative ultrasound |
