Reproducibility of DXA in Obese Women

Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2002
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements were analyzed using two versions of software (Hologic V8.1a and V8.21) to compare the short- and long-term precisions of the measurements. Software V8.21 was designed by the manufacturer to better address magnification effects on estimations of soft tissue lean mass.
