Activity Expires July 31, 2023

The Least Significant Change (LSC) Principle helps us to provide relevant information to our patients. Without LSC values for the scans that are reported, we could only report "possible" changes. In serial DXA scanning, LSC values allow facilities to state with confidence whether a change seen between visits is "real" versus "not statistically significant". This session will discuss how these values are derived from Precision Studies and how they are used in clinical settings.

Session Objectives:

1. The attendee should understand the rationale for using  a precision assessment to decide on the LSC
2. The attendee should understand how to perform the precision assessment,
3. The attendee should understand how to use the data generated in order to calculate the LSC
4. Define Least Significant Change as it applies to serial DXA scanning
5. Calculate LSC values using site Precision studies and ISCD calculators for individual technologists and facilities
6. Use LSC values to describe whether change between visits is considered to be "real" with 95% confidence.

Instructions: Clinicians and Technologists are required to answer a set of online test questions following the review of the video and will have up to three attempts to answer questions correctly before losing credit for the activity. Once the activity test has been passed (75% or higher), you will be asked to evaluate the activity online and then be allowed to claim credit and print certificates.
