Bone Densitometry is a simple and noninvasive procedure that is used to measure bone mass and assist in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disorder of the bones characterized by a progressive loss of bone tissue, which can result in an increase in the risk of fractures, often from minor falls or spills that would not normally result in a fracture.
By utilizing a very low dose of x-rays, the Bone Densitometry machine produces an image of your bones and calculates the strength of the bones. The test is painless and simple to conduct and has minimal radiation exposure. Bone Desnsitometry is also useful in tracking the progression of osteoporosis.
