Single-photon absorptiometry measurements at the radius and calcaneus have been shown in a number of prospective studies to predict the risk of all fractures as well as measurements at the spine or hip. Single-energy X-ray absorptiometry should do as well or better. These methods should be useful in selecting patients for therapy to treat or prevent osteoporosis.
多项前瞻性研究表明，桡骨和跟骨的单光子吸收测定法可用于预测所有骨折的风险，脊柱或髋部的测量结果同样如此。单能X线吸收测定法应该同样有效或效果更好。这些方法在选择治疗或预防骨质疏松症的患者时应该会很有用。
