Evaluation of Bone Length Measurement

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Bone Calcification; Osteoporosis

• Registration Number: NCT02165527
• Lead Sponsor: University of Michigan

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if Lunar iXDA scanning with the use of a computer software program can make accurate measurements of the length of leg bones compared to conventional x-rays.

Detailed Description

The investigators would like to see how well the calculation of bone length using Lunar iDxa compares to conventional x-ray since the Lunar iXDA exposed patients to less radiation than conventional x-rays.
