Influence of vertebral fracture assessment by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry on decision-making in osteoporosis: a structuredn vignette survey

摘要

Objective. Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) is a radiographic method using DXA to diagnose vertebral fractures, validated for reproducibility, sensitivity and specificity as compared with spine radiographs. This study was designed to assess the impact of VFA results on decision-marking in osteoporosis, using a clinical vignette-based approach.
