Figure 3. Percent Change in Bone Mineral Density of Human Volunteers by DXA and QCT After Fat Layering.

Figure 3

Fat layering decreased DXA measurements of lumbar spine BMD and increased QCT measurements of trabecular BMD. Variability of bone density change in both DXA and QCT measurements was high, but the error was more pronounced for DXA measurements, especially at the total hip and femoral neck. * Indicates p<0.05 for percent change from baseline.
