Inter‐scanner variability in bone mineral density and T ‐score measurements: A comparison of Stratos, Lunar, and Osteosys DXA systems

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the inter-scanner variability in bone mineral density and T-score measurements across different DXA systems.
• Comparison of Stratos, Lunar, and Osteosys DXA systems
• Assessment of T-scores and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements
• Analysis focused on femoral and lumbar spine results
• Substantial concordance in T-score and BMD measurements, especially in femoral sites
• Slight differences found did not significantly alter osteoporosis (OP) diagnosis
• Observed greater variability in lumbar spine measurements, suggesting caution in interpretation
