For technologists and physicians to assess the Quality Control of their DXA Scanner.
DXASQC is a spreadsheet template designed to plot and assess the statistical significance of drifts in the calibration of DXA scanners. It uses standard statistical quality control (SQC) techniques to flag QC phantom measurements which indicate that the scanner calibration has drifted, or may be about to drift, outside accepted calibration limits.
