Our primary interest is future fractures and the treatment of Osteoporosis, eventhough we are also interested in detecting the increased risk of breast cancer. As we see it you could probably be even more effective with the DXR-technology fully integrated to the digital mammography workflow. Please, let us know if you would like to be kept in the loop on future developments: dxr[at]dxr-online.com Regards Jakob Algulin Sectra Dear Dr Grant,

Over 2 SD deviations above norm for BMD is associated with raised incidence of breast Ca, and the cost of heel DEXA is very low and might help identify those at special risk.

The study mentioned above (Bouxsein et al. (Osteoporos Int 2002;13:358-65) has shown a relative risk of hip fracture of 1.8 per SD of DXR-BMD) and it furthermore include DXA Hip and Spine measurements. Furthermore Dhainaut et al. (J Clin Densitom. 2010 Oct-Dec;13(4):418-25.) has described DXRs ability to identify women that will be diagnosed with a DXA hip. The ability to have accessible tools as well as prognostic capabilities will be central to identify and prevent as many fractures as possible. Jakob Algulin VP Rheumatology @arash
