Normal Results
The results of your test are usually reported as a T-score and Z-score:
- T-score compares your bone density with that of healthy young women.
- Z-score compares your bone density with that of other people of your age, gender, and race.
With either score, a negative number means you have thinner bones than average. The more negative the number, the higher your risk of a bone fracture.
A T-score is within the normal range if it is -1.0 or above.
