Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) showed its versatility in measuring bone mineral density in both younger and older patients, as described in the following reports:

In addition, while x-ray imaging may be the oldest modality in radiology, researchers are still finding ways to improve it, as shown by the coverage below:

Finally, given the above, it may be hard to imagine that x-ray may be vanishing from urgent care centers, yet that is the perspective of one national expert in urgent care and occupational medicine strategy.
