Abstract

This data set serves as a resource for correlating hand x-rays with bone mineral density (BMD) scans taken within one year of one another. The need for increased methods of screening for low BMD is needed. Therefore, we used this dataset to determine if hand and wrist x-rays could be used to screen for forearm osteopenia and osteoporosis.
