Recognizing the limitations of BMD by standard DXA, we will explore new technologies to assess bone strength and their potential future role in clinical practice.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the limitations of DXA in estimating bone quality.
Examine the relationship between radiographic imaging and bone strength.
Discuss the role of new technologies in skeletal assessment.
