Abstract


 Limited evidence describing the clinical utility of 2 types of portable bone imaging devices suggest that they may be comparable to DXA for predicting the incidence of fracture, but the findings are uncertain.
 Incorporating 1 type of portable bone imaging device into a screening and diagnosis management pathway for osteoporosis was more cost-effective in a Finnish context, compared to an osteoporosis management approach that did not include the portable bone imaging device.
 Two guidelines were found that have recommendations about portable bone imaging devices for screening and diagnosing osteoporosis. Both guidelines reported limited evidence on the use of portable bone imaging devices.
