We'll start with the basics: why do we use Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA)? Learn all about how DXA is the method of choice for detecting bone loss. We'll also discuss the pitfalls of DXA and how to avoid bone-headed mistakes in interpreting bone density results. By the end of this course, you'll be able to explain why DXA is the top dog in detecting bone loss and fracture risk. You'll also be able to discuss the various technologies available for detecting bone loss and fracture risk, from TBS to REMS. Bone up on your knowledge and sign up today!
