Th ese three days of critical dis- cussion and debate, led by a panel of international experts from ISCD, IOF and by dedicated task forces, have clarifi ed a number of important issues pertaining to the interpretation and implementa- tion of FRAX® in clinical practice. Th e Offi cial Positions resulting from the PDC are intended to enhance quality and clinical utility of fracture risk assessment worldwide. Since the fi eld of skel- etal assessment is new and evolving rapidly, some clinically important issues addressed at the PDCs are not associated with robust medical evidence. Accordingly, some Offi cial Positions are based largely on expert opinion. Despite limitations in- herent in any process such as this, ISCD and IOF believe it is important to provide clinicians and technologists with the best distillation of current knowledge in the discipline of bone densitometry and provide guidance to the scientifi c community on where further research is needed to resolve areas of ambiguity and/or ongoing controversy.
