Bone Calcification, Osteoporosis
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if Lunar iXDA scanning with the use of a computer software program can make accurate measurements of the length of leg bones compared to conventional x-rays.
Detailed description
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.
Interventions
PROCEDURELunar iXDA scan
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.
