The course is also appropriate for technologists.
Learning Objectives
After attending the course, participants should be better prepared to:
1. Summarize best-practice methods utilized to recognize vertebral fractures on lateral spine images. 2. Describe non-fracture abnormalities that may appear on a spine image. 3. Identify characteristics of high-quality densitometric lateral spine images. 4. Identify the appropriate complementary technologies to complete vertebral fracture assessment. 5. Cite indications for VFA as stated in the 2015 ISCD Official Positions.

Learning Objectives
After attending the course, participants should be better prepared to:
- Identify proper DXA technology for body composition analysis of fat, lean muscle and bone mass.
- List other methods of body composition analysis used in the clinical setting.
- Differentiate reference values and indices.
- Identify limitations of reference values and indices.
- Summarize scan acquisition for adult and pediatric patients.
Method of Participation
This activity will be offered through zoom, allowing the learner to watch and ask questions in a live format on November 4, 2023.

Adam Kuchnia
Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
Adam Kuchnia is an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Department of Nutritional Sciences and holds a joint appointment within the Department of Surgery at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public health. The overall goal of his laboratory is to use a translational research approach to understand the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis and the clinical implications of myosteatosis (i.e. muscle quality), or the infiltration of fat within muscle tissue, in aging and age-related disease. He has expertise in various imaging modalities for the assessment of muscle and in protein/muscle metabolism. Currently, his research focuses on human nutrition, in vivo lean tissue/muscle imaging and ex vivo measures to assess muscle and metabolic dysfunction. Adam is particularly interested in novel applications to refine protein recommendations with the goal of preserving muscle mass and muscle quality, while preventing consequential outcomes seen in aging and age-related disease. His research also aims to develop novel, noninvasive methods to accurately detect muscle wasting and myosteatosis and monitor changes in skeletal muscle while optimizing therapeutic intervention throughout medical treatment and surgery, including chemotherapy/immunotherapy and transplantation.

She is Dual PI of a funded RO1 entitled, Bone microarchitecture and bone strength: relationships to muscle quantity, quality and function in older adults.
Dr. Cauley also served on several large, multi-site longitudinal studies and clinical trials focusing on issues related to aging and osteoporosis, including as PI of the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) (10,366 women age 65+) at the Pittsburgh field site, 1986-2016. SOF evolved from a study focused on osteoporosis to an important study of aging. She was also Co-PI of the Health Aging and Body Composition Study, one of the first studies to quantify intermuscular fat and relate this to disability, fractures and mortality. She served as the clinical site PI of several major randomized clinical trials of treatments for osteoporosis including the Fracture Intervention Trial (FIT) (alendronate) and its extension, FLEX ( FIT Long-term extension study); the Health Outcomes related to Zolendronic acid-Pivotal Fracture Study( HORIZON-PFS); Multiple Outcomes of Raloxifene Evaluation (MORE); the NIA sponsored Testosterone trials and was Co-PI of the Women’s Health Initiative, serving as the Chair or Co-Chair of the Calcium Vitamin D committee for the duration of the trial. She was Chair of the recruitment committee for both the Testosterone Trials and NIA sponsored ENRGIZE trial testing whether fish oil or Losartan reduced inflammation and improved mobility. Currently, she is Co-Chair of an ASBMR Task Force examining the use of race and ethnicity in clinical algorithms related to fracture risk.Disclosure(s): No financial relationships to disclose
