Incorrect Hologic Forearm Analysis
In the image, the top line is not placed at the tip of the ulnar styloid process.
in this image, the top line is now placed at the tip of the ulnar styloid process. The bone mineral density in the 1/3 region does not change significant, but it is important for accuracy and precision to have a scan correctly analyzed.
Case Description:
The top line on a Hologic forearm scan should be at the tip of the ulnar styloid process. In the left panel, the analysis is incorrect. The analysis is corrected in the right panel.
