About this study

The investigators would like to see how well the calculation of bone length using Lunar iDxa compares to conventional x-ray since the Lunar iXDA exposed patients to less radiation than conventional x-rays.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 yrs. of age or older
  • Have recent x-rays of lower extremity
  • Are at least 3 feet 7 inches tall and not taller than 6 feet 7 inches.

Exclusion criteria

  • Are unwilling to read and sign the consent
  • Are pregnant or if subject has not had a negative pregnancy test just prior to the iXDA scan
  • Have severe deformities of your legs or back
  • Unable to lay on the scanning table for the scan

Treatment and study plan

Lunar iXDA scan

Procedure

Subject will receive a total body scan taken by the Lunar iXDA. This scan will take approximately 8 minutes to complete. Following the scan, the computer of the Lunar iXDA will calculate the bone length.

Primary outcomes

  1. Leg (Femur and Tibia) bone length measurement in centimeters using iDXA

    Time frame: scan time is 8 minutes

    Lunar iXDA computer will calculate the bone length following a total body scan taken by the Lunar iDXA and compare results from conventional x-ray to determine accuracy.
