Alternate R-Value Analysis
Note: Norland strongly recommends viewing hip scan in the baseline mode.
Baseline displays non-bone data points in the image in the baseline color or shade. If the image appears to have
missing areas of bone then the “Alternate R-Value” option should be disabled and the scan reanalyzed.
Changing the Alternate R-Value option can make a large difference in the T-Score and Z-score.
View in the Baseline Mode
1. Right click on the scan image in the Filmstrip view to access the image menu.
2. Click on Baseline. The image will display all the non bone data points.
