Official Positions

The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) is a not-for-profit multidisciplinary professional society with a mission to enhance knowledge and quality of bone densitometry among healthcare professionals, provide continuing education courses for clinicians and technologists, increase patient awareness and access to bone densitometry, and support clinical and scientific advances in the field.

With the evolution of bone densitometry, differences in technologies, acquisition techniques, reference databases, reporting methods, and terminology have developed. These differences may have adverse effects on patient care and the exchange of scientific information. To address these issues, the ISCD periodically holds Position Development Conferences, a process whereby a panel of experts makes recommendations for ISCD positions based on reviews of the scientific literature by the ISCD’s Scientific Advisory Committee.
