Osteoporosis Testing: Bone Mineral Density Test (It's Good To Be Dense Sometimes)
Measurement of bone mineral density plays an important role in confirming a diagnosis of osteoporosis. In addition, osteoporosis can be diagnosed before a fracture using this test. Our office now has a front line diagnostic tool that will help us identify patients who may have low BMD and be at risk for osteoporotic fractures. Using a one minute non-invasive procedure that scans your hand, we can now assess your osteoporosis risk.
