Bilateral hip DXA scan image from a 59-year-old post-menopausal woman. The dominant arm did not match, but dominant leg did. The T-score for the lumbar spine was normal. If the patient had only had her left hip examined in accordance with the dominant arm, the conclusion would have been normal bone mineral density (BMD). Having both hips examined instead led to the conclusion of low bone density (LBD).
