Improvement in the Accuracy of Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry for Whole Body and Regional Analysis of Body Composition: Validation Using Piglets and Methodologic Considerations in Infants
Abstract
Previously, we conducted dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Hologic QDR-1000/W) scans and carcass analysis of piglets to evaluate the Pediatric Whole Body software (PedWB) (V5.35) for use in infants. A software upgrade designed for infant whole body (InfWB) (V5.56) led to a reassessment of DXA by: 1) reanalysis of the original scans using InfWB software and 2) comparison of InfWB-estimates of bone mineral content (BMC) and lean and fat …
