“…Some studies have shown that AAC has no significant effect on BMD, [37][38][39] while others have reported a small effect. [40][41][42] Bristow et al 41 have suggested that, on follow-up studies, the combination of increasing AAC and decreasing vertebral body areas can incorrectly suggest stable spinal BMD values, despite an overall decrease in bone mineral content.…”

Bone Mineral Densitometry Reporting: Pearls and Pitfalls

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the method of choice for assessing bone mineral density (BMD). Unfortunately, the performance and interpretation of DXA can be challenging and errors are common. In fact, it has been reported that up to 90% of BMD reports contain at least 1 error. Errors can be the result of technique or interpretative in nature or both and can result in inappropriate diagnosis and management. In this article, we review the various types of pitfalls frequently encountered by physicians interpreting DXA studies. Being aware of these pitfalls will help readers recognize and avoid them when encountered in clinical practice.
