| Popis: | Different dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) hardware can affect bone mineral density (BMD) measurements and different reference populations can affect t-scores. Long-term analyses describing differences in the relationship between BMD and t-scores are lacking. BMD-values were plotted against t-scores for 241 Lunar DXA scans on females obtained over 18 years from several centers in Sweden and Norway. The result of the plot was compared to hardware/software versions, reference populations and different software analysis settings (Basic vs Enhanced analysis for total body and Single Photon Absorptiometry (SPA) vs Lunar calibration for forearm). For the forearm compartments, we found different BMD-t-score relationships depending on the use of SPA or Lunar calibration (p |
