Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The forearm can be scanned as an alternative site when the spine or hip cannot be accurately assessed due to artifacts such as advanced arthritis. This is because the forearm, specifically the radius, is a site where both trabecular and cortical bone can be evaluated, providing useful information about bone density and structure without the interference of artifacts present in the spine or hip.
