Abstract

Precision is the attribute of a quantitative measurement technique like bone densitometry that refers to the ability to reproduce the same numerical result in the setting of no real biologic change when the test is repeatedly performed in an identical fashion. Like all quantitative tests in clinical medicine, no bone densitometry technique is perfectly reproducible. This is true even when the bone density test is performed in exact accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations every time. If the test is not consistently performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, the technique becomes less reproducible.
