1 Errors in Dual-Energy X-Ray Scanning of the Hip Because of Nonuniform Fat Distribution 
Peter Tothill, Nicholas Weir, John Loveland  Journal of Clinical Densitometry  Volume 17, Issue 1, Pages (January 2014) DOI: /j.jocd Copyright © 2014 The International Society for Clinical Densitometry Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Illustration of region-of-interest (ROI) positioning for adipose tissue thickness estimation. The main rectangular ROI is denoted by the dashed line, bone is denoted by the shaded area, and the rectangular femoral neck ROI is denoted by the dotted line. We define “whole bone” to comprise regions a and b, and “background” to comprise regions c and d.

3 Fig. 2 Example bone (left) and fat (right) AT thickness maps for a relatively lean (A and B) and overweight (C and D) patient. AT, adipose tissue. Journal of Clinical Densitometry  , 91-96DOI: ( /j.jocd ) Copyright © 2014 The International Society for Clinical Densitometry Terms and Conditions

4 Fig. 3 Plots of adipose tissue (AT) thickness difference, AT over bone minus AT in background, against distance from default baseline. Journal of Clinical Densitometry  , 91-96DOI: ( /j.jocd ) Copyright © 2014 The International Society for Clinical Densitometry Terms and Conditions

5 Fig. 4 Plot of mean adipose tissue (AT) thickness over total bone against thickness over total background. Open circles stands for men and closed circles for women. Dashed line for linear regression, full line identity.
