Diagnosis and management of osteoporosis: guidelines for the utilization of bone densitometry

The purposes of this study were to assess the current capabilities of bone densitometry methods as well as recent technical advances in these methods; to address the issues of fracture risk prediction with bone densitometry using either single or multisite measurements; and to delineate the criteria...
