Abstract:Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans are frequently used in human biological research to study bone health and body composition. Hand-wrist scans for the assessment of skeletal maturity can also be easily obtained in immature research participants who are being scanned to assess bone health. Whilst assessment by an expert is the desired arrangement such expertise may not be available, and thus knowledge of the relative reproducibility of a trained novice and an acknowledged expert is pertinent.
