Bone Density Measurement Using a Full-Spine X-ray
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a full-spine or whole-body X-ray to check your bones or spine before surgery.
- You are at least 20 years old and can give your consent to participate.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is below 35.
- You do not have metal implants, rods, screws, or other hardware in your lower back or hips.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant, and haven't had contrast dye or radioactive tracers in the past week.
- You can stand or lie still and hold the correct position for the X-ray scan.

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.
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.
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 study looks at simpler ways to measure bone density from routine CT scans of the lower back or abdomen. If you are already getting a CT scan, the researchers will use those images to check your bone health without extra tests or radiation.
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.
