- Different manufacturers of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) machines yield varying bone mineral density (BMD) values due to technical differences in measurement algorithms and reference databases.
- A study involving 229 healthy young men in Belgium aimed to standardize BMD measurements using a new national male reference sample and implemented quality control across different bone densitometry centers.
- The findings showed consistent sBMD values at key bone sites, allowing for the establishment of region-specific thresholds for diagnosing male osteoporosis and fostering a uniform approach to BMD evaluation nationwide.
