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 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 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 checks if a new computer program can find people at risk for osteoporosis more easily, using CT scans you already had. If you are found to be high risk, you'll get a free bone density test (DXA) to confirm, and help improve this tool.
