Effects of clinical reanalysis in dual energy X-ray absorptiometry reports.

Objectives: This study aims to assess poor positioning rates of patients during X-ray and the accuracy of the analysis.

Patients And Methods: In this study, we reanalyzed 323 dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) reports, by evaluating the scan images for proper patient positioning and scan analysis. We reviewed reports, according to a checklist prepared considering the proposals of Watts and The International Society for Clinical Densitometry official positions for 2013 (which were the same as in 2015).
