The 2007 Hologic DXA Users’ Group meeting was judged an unqualified success. Topics included Paediatric Interpretation, Identification of Vertebral Fractures, NICE Guidelines, Peripheral to Central DXA and a Users Forum with Q&A.

The meeting was opened by Dr Peter Tothill, a legendary researcher in the field, with a History of Bone Measure-ments. Peter’s presentation was followed by a surprise ceremony hosted by Bill Hipgrave, during which Peter was recognised for his work. He is seen here with Bill and Hologic European Sales Director Okkis Arissian.
