Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the consistency of two methods in the measurement of bone mineral density in the lateral lumbar vertebra.Methods:The bone mineral densities of the 2nd,3rd and 4th lumbar vertebras in 18 female patients,at a preset side lying position,were measured respectively by two methods(lateral spine analysis,LS and lateral vertebral analysis,LVA) provided by the dual-energy(X-ray) absorptiometry(GE Lunar,Prodigy).The results were recorded and analyzed by SPSS(Version(10.0).) The values of bone mineral density were displayed by boxplot,paired and analyzed by(Wilcoxon's) signed rank test and(Pearson's) correlation analysis.Statistical significance was considered when P(0.05),) and were clearly correlated(P
