Software developer FitTrace has released an updated version of its FitTrace Sync mobile app for analyzing dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans.
Typically, facilities that partner with FitTrace electronically transfer body composition scans to their clients via the app. Now, the app provides analysis of DEXA body composition measurements to users who manually enter data from Hologic and GE HealthCare scanners.
The app is available for both iOS and Android mobile devices and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. The app is free, with manual entry of a scan requiring an in-app purchase, FitTrace said.
![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard. AM = age-matched, DEXA = dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, RM2 = room 2, SNUH = Seoul National University Hospital, YA = young adult.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/ai-children-bone-density.0snnf2EJjr.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
