Can secondary osteoporosis be identified when screening for osteoporosis with digital X-ray radiogrammetry? Initial results from the Stockholm Osteoporosis Project (STOP)

Highlights • Women attending mammography screening had their bone mass evaluated with digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR). • Those with the lowest bone mineral density as determined by DXR were referred for standard DXA examination (n = 327). • Of these 327 women, 93 had osteoporosis. • The diagnosis...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Women attending mammography screening had their bone mass evaluated with digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR). • Those with the lowest bone mineral density as determined by DXR were referred for standard DXA examination (n = 327). • Of these 327 women, 93 had osteoporosis. • The diagnosis was new in 79 cases (85%) and a potential underlying cause was identified in 32 cases (34%). Primary hyperparathyroidism was found in 9% and secondary hyperparathyroidism in 14%.
