Bone Mineral Density Precision Study

Description

The purpose of this research is to collect medical imaging data to allow for the comparison of bone mineral density measurements from two low-dose x-ray exams. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the precision measurement between the BMD assessments from 2 x-ray exams?

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Subjects indicated for full-spine or whole-body radiography via EOSedge 2E biplanar imaging (e.g., in the preoperative evaluation of spine and/or other orthopaedic conditions)
  • 2. Male or female subjects who are at least 20 years of age at the time of imaging acquisition
  • 3. Written informed consent obtained from the potential subject or the subject's legal representative and ability for the subject to comply with the requirements of the study
  • 1. Subjects who have been administered contrast agents or radionuclides within 7 days prior to scheduled radiographic imaging (EOS and DXA)
  • 2. Subjects who are pregnant or wanting to become pregnant during the timeframe of study participation (due to risks associated with radiographic imaging)
  • 3. Subjects with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2
  • 4. Subjects known to have severe degenerative changes or fracture deformity in the measurement area (i.e., lumbar spine L1-L4, bilateral femoral neck/trochanter; note that unilateral femoral evaluation is acceptable), as defined by the Investigator's determination of the likelihood of reasonably assessing bone mineral density of those areas
  • 5. Subjects known to have implants, hardware, devices, or other foreign material in the measurement area (i.e., lumbar spine L1-L4, bilateral femoral neck/trochanter; note that unilateral femoral evaluation is acceptable)
  • 6. Subjects unable to attain correct position and/or remain motionless for the measurement (e.g., subjects unable to stand unassisted in the EOS unit, or to lie appropriately in the DXA scanner)
  • 7. Subjects known to have extra or missing lumbar vertebrae (i.e., more or fewer than 5 mobile lumbar segments)
  • 8. Subjects participating in another clinical study which may compromise this study's results or compliance with this study's procedures
  • 9. Subjects with presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the subject or the quality of the data
