A bone mineral density test, also known as a bone mineral densitometry or BMD test, is an enhanced form of low energy X-ray technology specifically designed to detect possible bone loss or Osteoporosis. The test uses two low-energy X-ray beams to examine the strength of your bones, identify potential fracture risk, and evaluate the efficacy of therapy.
A bone density test is most commonly performed on the lumbar spine, hip, and forearm, as these bones have been shown to generate the most reliable measurements for predicting fractures and monitoring treatment.
The radiation dose with bone densitometry is minimal and is similar to the exposure you get when you go through an airport security scanner.
Your technologist will be happy to answer any questions and guide you through the preparation process.
