Interpretation of Calcaneus Dual‐Energy X‐Ray Absorptiometry Measurements in the Assessment of Osteopenia and Fracture Risk

Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the calcaneus is useful in assessing bone mass and fracture risk at other skeletal sites. However, DXA yields an areal bone mineral density (BMD) that depends on both bone apparent density and bone size, potentially complicating interpretation of the DXA res...
