attenuation of x-ray or gamma radiation
Accuracy - Answer - the degree to which a measurement value estimates the actual
value of the quantity being measured
- often presented in percentage or absolute difference
Accuracy Calibration of Industry Standard - Answer - bone: hydroxyapatite
- fat: stearic acid
- lean soft tissue 0.6% sodium chloride solution
Age-Matched - Answer - comparison of the patient's BMD to a reference population of
the same age
