| Abstract |
Access to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning varies significantly throughout New Zealand with the majority of scans funded privately or through the health industry. Barriers to access need to be addressed if osteoporosis guidelines are to be implemented across the country equitably, to reduce the incidence and cost of fragility fractures in New Zealand. |
