Bone Densitometry

Bone Density testing predicts the risk of fracture in much the same way that blood pressure tests predict the risk of stroke. It is reported that at least 40% of women and 25% of men aged over 50 are at increased risk of fracture in their estimated lifetime. Early assessment of risk combined with lifestyle education for prevention of thinning and maintenance of bone health can dramatically reduce a person s chances of developing osteoporosis in later life.

Bone density scanning, is noninvasive medical test that helps diagnose and treat medical conditions. Don't wait for a debilitating fracture. Take steps to ensure quality of life with a routine bone density scan.
