Inter- and Intra-Observer Variability in Image Analysis of Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in a Large Hospital

Introduction: A large hospital having several dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanners and many technologists is usually expected to show an increase in the precision error because technologists may position the patient and analyze the image in a different manner. Assessment of inter- and intra-observer variability as well as training the skills of the technologist is important for quality assurance of DXA.
