Abstract

In recent years, demand for examination of bone mineral density (BMD) is increasing in Korea according aging society. Therefore, it is required to develop an efficient management program that can increase the safety and reliability of Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) that can be applied to the criteria of the World Health Organization. It is necessary to develop a management program that can design a program to improve the accuracy and precision of the results of the analysis and to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of osteoporosis by development a high quality DXA report. It is recommended to prepare the examination manuals and to establish procedures of standard operating including the program to prevent the pitfalls during the examination, the compatibility evaluation of the examination data, and the contents of the radiation safety. In addition, relevant regulations on the production of high-quality DXA reports are required and government and related agencies should introduce individual and facility recognition programs through DXA measurement and education programs and training. It is considered that efforts should be made to prepare high quality DXA report by guidelines on all aspects of BMD for preparation about aging society.
