In an effort to identify priorities regarding error sources and standardization in the practice of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) is conducting an online survey of healthcare providers who perform this test. ISCD is working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to define standardized measurement parameters to improve the accuracy and cross-comparability of bone mineral density as measured by DXA.

The Endocrine Society encourages its members who perform DXA scans to take the online survey, which should take less than 5 minutes to complete. To participate in the survey, click here. Responses will help to refine priorities for the standardization project.
