CBMD T-Score Calculator app for iPhone and iPad

The T-score converter Apps for Hologic and GE Lunar DXA scanners will be utilized by Canadian imaging physicians who comply with the Canadian Association of Radiologists 2013 guidelines for the reporting of 10-year absolute fracture risk in male patients over the age of 50 years.
NHANES III is the only large standardized reference database ever published. The International Committee for Standards in Bone Measurement (ICSBM) agreed on a universal reference database for the femur based on NHANES III.

NHANES III is the current international reference standard for diagnosis of osteoporosis within the World Health Organization (WHO) T-score paradigm.

The CAR guidelines state that femoral neck T-scores derived from the NHANES III white female reference database are to be used for 10-year absolute fracture risk determination in men older than age 50 years. The T-score converter Apps allow the reporting physician to use the male BMD values to obtain the white female reference database (NHANES 111) femoral neck T-scores used for risk determination.
