Bone Densitometry:
To detect osteoporosis accurately, doctors use an enhanced form of x-ray technology called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA bone densitometry is today's established standard for measuring bone mineral density (BMD). DXA is a quick, painless procedure for measuring bone loss.
Bone density is used most often to diagnose low bone mass due to osteoporosis. However, this technology can be applied to other orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions.
