Positive association of BMD values obtained via BoneXpert and DXA scan.

<p>A) BMD readings of the lumbar spine (L1-L4) obtained by Lunar Prodigy (GE Healthcare) as a function of BHI obtained by BoneXpert (r = 0.73; P < 0.0001). B) Age-adjusted DXA Z-scores as a function of BHI SDS obtained via BoneXpert (r = 0.23; P = 0.02). C) DXA-Z scores, adjusted for patient height (HAZ) as a function of BHI SDS using BoneXpert (r = 0.27; P < 0.0001). For all figures, the predicted values based on bivariate regression analysis are indicated as solid line. The dashed lines represent the 95% confidence interval.</p

Positive association of BMD values obtained via BoneXpert and pQCT (XCT 900 Stratec®).

<p>A) BHI readings obtained using BoneXpert showed a positive correlation with BMD readings at the distal radius as measured via pQCT (XCT 900 Stratec®; r = 0.39; P < 0.0001). B) Accordingly, the SDS of the pQCT method (QCTOT SDS total, vertical axis) and the BoneXpert (BHI SDS, horizontal axis) were positively correlated (r = 0.3; P = 0.003). The predicted values based on bivariate regression analysis are indicated as a solid line. The dashed lines represent the 95% confidence interval.</p
