Table 2.

Difference between BMD values obtained on the DPX-L and the Prodigy when either the automated or the manual mode was used

BMD Site	Scans	Scans Altered	Mean Difference (SD)^a	Minimum	Maximum
Femoral Neck	903	48	−0.001 (0.010)	−0.124	0.059
Trochanter	902	45	0.000 (0.001)	−0.009	0.014
Total Hip	901	48	0.000 (0.002)	−0.010	0.021
Spine L2–L4	892	87	0.000 (0.006)	−0.060	0.099

Abbr: BMD, bone mineral density; SD, standard deviation

This represents the mean difference between DPX-L and Prodigy BMD (g/cm²) when using the automated mode minus the mean difference between scanners when using the manual mode
