Abdominal aortic calcification identified on lateral spine images from bone densitometers are a marker of generalized atherosclerosis in elderly women

OBJECTIVE: Dual-energy X-ray bone absorptiometry (DXA) is a low-cost, minimal-radiation technique used to improve fracture prediction. DXA machines can also capture single-energy lateral spine images and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is commonly seen on these images. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We...
