Abstract
Digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) is a computer-assisted technique used to quantify cortical bone density of the metacarpals. The influence of metacarpal bone rotation and type of cast material on bone mineral density (BMD) measurements using the DXR technique was tested. The bone mineral density of the hand was measured by DXR, and rotation error (DXR–RE) as coefficients of variation were calculated, to verify reliability and reproducibility...
