This short-term study which was carried out in a small group of pre- and postmenopausal women at Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II (HRPZII) aims to compare between Tscores detected by heel Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) and by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) of the hip and spine. The prevalence of osteoporosis by heel QUS was 63.3% and up to 16.7% by DXA. Insufficient or weak agreement exists between T-score measurements by heel QUS and axial DXA. Significant correlations were found between measurements of T-scores by both methods, with r values from 0.364 to 0.91. Although some correlation was found, significant discrepancy in the frequency of osteoporosis using different methods and sites is substantial.
这项在拉贾·佩empuan·扎伊纳卜二世医院（HRPZII）对一小群绝经前和绝经后女性进行的短期研究，旨在比较足跟定量超声（QUS）检测的T值与髋部和脊柱双能X线吸收法（DXA）检测的T值。足跟QUS检测的骨质疏松患病率为63.3%，DXA检测的高达16.7%。足跟QUS和轴向DXA测量的T值之间存在不一致或较弱的一致性。两种方法测量的T值之间存在显著相关性，r值在0.364至0.91之间。虽然发现了一些相关性，但使用不同方法和部位时骨质疏松症频率的显著差异很大。
