Bone mineral density

Bone density measurement has high sensitivity and high diagnosis rate for osteoporosis caused by various reasons. Bone mineral density measurement helps to diagnose osteoporosis. Bone mineral density (BMD) is the most effective predictor of fracture risk, and there is a geometric progression relationship between fracture risk and bone density. Changes in bone density (BMD) can be monitored with a bone density meter. Orthopedic spine and / or bilateral femurs are generally used. When the patient's spine has significant proliferation or deformation, bilateral femoral scanning is more meaningful.
