An evaluation study of the DXL technology was published in the British journal of Physics in Medicine and Biology.

In the study, named “Dual energy x-ray laser measurement of calcaneal bone mineral density”, where even other bone densitometers compared to axial DXA. 38 subjects were measured with all the bone densitometers and DXL Calscan showed excellent results in comparison to axial DXA. DXL Calscan predicted the variations in BMD very well of femoral neck and lumbar spine (r2 = 0.63 and 0.61). The variation can even be presented as the correlation, for DXL Calscan, to femoral neck and lumbar spine (r = 0.79 and 0.78). DXL Calscan even showed excellent in vivo short term precision (1,24 %).
The study was performed at the University of Kuopio in Finland.
