Bone density comparison: EOS X-ray vs standard DXA scan
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study checks if a new low-dose X-ray system (EOSedge) gives the same bone density measurements as the standard DXA scan. It is for adults getting spine or whole-body X-rays as part of their care, or healthy volunteers willing to have research scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 20 years old.
- You are either having a spine or whole-body X-ray for your regular care, or you are a healthy volunteer for research imaging.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
- Your BMI (body mass index) is less than 35.
- You do not have severe arthritis, fractures, or metal implants in your lower back or hips, and you have the usual 5 lower back bones.
- You can stand without help and lie still for the X-ray and bone density scans.

This study uses a special low-dose X-ray system (EOSedge) to measure bone mineral density while you have a routine full-spine or whole-body X-ray. It aims to see if EOS can give doctors bone health information without needing a separate DXA scan.
This study tests a new ultrasound device (POROUS R4C) to see if it can accurately estimate bone mineral density. If it works well, it could offer a quick, radiation-free way to check bone health.
This study checks how precisely and consistently a DXA (dual-energy X-ray) scan measures body features in healthy adults. It may help future patients by improving the accuracy of scans used to guide health decisions.
This study compares two ways to measure bone density: a standard X-ray method (DXA) and a newer ultrasound method (REMS). If you are a woman scheduled for a DXA scan, you may help researchers see if the ultrasound test is just as accurate and easier to use.
This trial is building a database of full-body standing X-rays in people who do not have spine problems or certain health conditions. If you qualify, your X-rays may help researchers study normal body alignment for future medical use.
This trial is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) model that uses X-ray images to predict bone density. If you have X-rays and a bone density scan, the AI may help doctors screen for osteoporosis without extra tests.
