Prevalent vertebral fracture on bone density lateral spine (VFA) images in routine clinical practice predict incident fractures
2019, BoneCitation Excerpt :Densitometric thoracolumbar lateral spine images intended for vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) can be obtained at the time of bone densitometry (DXA) at very low cost and much less radiation exposure compared to standard radiography, and moderate to severe vertebral fractures can be identified on these images with high accuracy compared to standard radiographs [12,13]. Among older women referred for DXA, VFA imaging may increase the proportion of those identified as candidates for pharmacologic fracture prevention therapy beyond the bone density T-score ≤ −2.5 criterion by as much as 30% [14,15]. However, only one prospective study has shown that vertebral fractures identified on VFA images predicts subsequent fractures [16].
