P1.02 ABDOMINAL AORTIC CALCIFICATION DETECTION USING DUAL-ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY (DXA): COMPARISON WITH COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT)
Background: Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is an independent determinant of cardiovascular events. Computed tomography (CT) is currently the gold standard for measuring aortic calcification but is limited by relatively high radiation exposure. Lateral dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (lateral-...
