DXA Precision and Accuracy Comparison Study (DXA P&A)

August 8, 2016 updated by: GE Healthcare
This study is being conducted to examine the performance of three common DXA machines (1) Lunar iDXA, (2) Lunar Prodigy and (3) Hologic Discovery A in measuring bone density and body fat.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

For this study, two specific groups of volunteers will be recruited. In one group, the scan will measure bone density and in the other group the scan will measure fat. The groups will be broken into weight groups to determine which of the scanners the subject will be scanned on. Subjects will have the option to participate in either one or both groups.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: SCREENING
  • Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: PARALLEL
  • Masking: NONE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Skeletal

Recruitment for each cohort will include approximately equal male/female split (no gender bias). Depending on the weight category, for each cohort, a minimum of 30 adult subjects will be measured on two of three systems [Lunar Prodigy (GEHC), Lunar iDXA (GEHC) and Discovery A (Hologic)], and 60 will be measured on all three systems [Lunar Prodigy (GEHC), Lunar iDXA (GEHC) and Discovery A (Hologic)],(total of evaluable 90 subjects).

** Subjects can enroll in both Skeletal and Body Composition cohorts. Analysis will be performed within each cohort.**

EXPERIMENTAL: Skeletal & Body Composition
"Skeletal and Body Composition" was not a cohort that was actively recruited to, it is a cohort for reporting purposes. Subjects will be measured on two of three systems [Lunar Prodigy (GEHC), Lunar iDXA (GEHC) and Discovery A (Hologic)]Subjects were able to consent and enroll to both Skeletal and Body Composition cohorts and these subjects will be counted for under this joint cohort.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Short Term Precision Comparison Across Three DXA Devices
Time Frame: Less than 6 months
BMD precision will be reported across three DXA devices in major skeletal and body composition sites. The short-term precision was calculated as RMS-SD (root mean square standard deviation) over the mean for each cohort. The skeletal cohort will not have short-term precision value for body composition indexes due to the different region of measurement. The same will apply to the body composition cohort. As the result, the "Skeletal & Body Composition" cohort identified in participant flow and overall study summary will not have an analysis provided.
Less than 6 months
