Abstract

Dual photon absorptiometry enables measurement of bone mineral to be carried out at the clinically relevant sites of the spine and femur. Few would argue that it provides a powerful research tool, but defining its role in clinical practice has been somewhat more difficult. With the advent of X-ray based systems, studies can be rapidly carried out with improved precision, which has led to increased clinical interest. It is probable that this technology will be incorporated into routine use in the near future. In the present review we have addressed the role of dual photon absorptiometry in areas pertinent to osteoporosis and the direction in which recent developments are leading with regard to future research.
