This year, the long standing event was held over two days for the first time.  Day one focussed on DXA in paediatrics and the second day was the more familiar user-based forum.  It was the most successful meeting yet, with a record 240 registered delegates.  Topics under discussion included new software and upgrades, scanning practicalities in paediatric DXA distal femur scanning plus an update on the UK database and osteoporosis in young women.
