Enhanced Precision of the New Hologic Horizon Densitometer Compared with the Old Discovery Model

Background: Previous publications suggested that the precision for the new Hologic Horizon densitometer might be better than for the previous Discovery model, but these observations were confounded by not using the same subjects and technologists on both densitometers. We sought to study this issue methodically by measuring in vivo precision in both densitometers using the same subjects and technologists.
