The Q-BONE system: A novel dual-energy X-ray diagnostic method for osteoporosis
The Q-BONE system has the potential that achieves comprehensive osteoporosis assessment by combining BMD measurement and fracture evaluation in a single efficient procedure. Its implementation could improve diagnostic efficiency and accessibility, particularly in settings where DXA is unavailable. Further technical improvement on body fat issues, and studies are warranted to assess its clinical utility across broader populations and skeletal sites.
