Abstract
With a standard, image-intensifier-based, digital radiographic system, high-spatial-resolution images of the hand were acquired for analysis of phalangeal bone mineral density with dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results with phalangeal DXA had precision of plus or minus 0.67% and accuracy of 4.1% and correlated well with those with radiographic absorptiometry. This phalangeal DXA technique is potentially useful for clinical diagnosis of osteoporosis.Keywords
