Hi everyone, Hopefully a simple question! The letter to my GP suggested "AP spine T score -2.8'". Friends have asked, "where is your osteoporosis?" What does the AP refer to?
kind regards to all

When making the measurements the computer draws a line through various views of the bones. So it is front to back as opposed to side to side.
