Dual photon absorptiometry is a reliable method of assessing bone mineral density. However, distortions of bony architecture, which may not be evident from the low-resolution images provided, can complicate the evaluation and lead to misleading findings. A case is presented which describes the importance of clinical and radiographic correlation.
