Phantom BMD images. BMD images of a Hologic BMD spine phantom by Hfa (a), Hhd (b), and iDXA (c) without and with overlying soft tissue equivalent materials. * Denotes the least thickness of soft tissue equivalent material that caused a statistically significant difference in BMD. Despite statistically significant changes, the absolute changes in BMD are smaller than LSC values; hence, unlikely to be a problem in BMD monitoring
