Comparison between dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and calcaneal quantitative ultrasound for determining bone mineral density in children living with HIV in uganda: A cross- sectional study
In CLWH, there was moderate correlation observed for TBLH measurements when comparing DXA to QUS, and weak correlation was found between LSBMAD and QUS measurements. There was a moderate correlation detected between the LSBMC and QUS.QUS may not be an appropriate substitute for DXA scan.
