Summary

The results of measurements of multibrand DXA apparatus in this multicenter study suggest several practical conclusions: (1) the CC should be performed by using a single phantom independent of the DXA brand tested; (2) duplicate measurements should been performed at the time of patient inclusion; and (3) the most efficient QC program should include CC, central reading of in vivo scans, and central review of daily QC.
