Our results showed significant correlations between DEXA T-scores and topographical measurements from mobile device acquired 3D scans, although these were in the "moderate" range. Mobile device-based 3D scanning may hold promise as an adjunct screening tool for osteoporosis when DEXA scanning is not available or feasible for patients, although further studies are needed to elucidate the full potential of its clinical utility. At a minimum, identifying a patient as high risk may promote earlier diagnostic DEXA scanning.
