The assessment of skeletal status in young patients with Turner syndrome by 2 densitometric techniques: Phalangeal quantitative ultrasound and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry

“Which skeletal imaging modality is best for assessing bone health in children and young adults compared to DXA? A systematic review and meta-analysis”

“…Of the seventeen studies that compared quantitative ultrasound (QUS) with DXA, 6 demonstrated strong correlation [37,38,[50][51][52][53], 3 showed moderate correlation [54][55][56], and 6 showed no correlation [57][58][59][60][61][62] (Tables 4,5,6). The positive relationship for QUS and DXA by pooled estimate, based on 13 studies, was 0.57 [95%CI: 0.46; 0.67, p-value<0.001] (Figure 6).…”
