The bone density scan is a diagnostic test performed to assess bone health. It is typically used to detect osteoporosis, a condition that makes bones fragile and more prone to fractures.
The test is quick, painless, and non-invasive, with low levels of radiation for the patient. The measurement is mainly taken on bones that are more prone to fractures due to decreased density, such as the spine, wrists, or hips. The results of the measurement are compared to normal values for individuals of the same age and gender, allowing doctors to assess your bone health and recommend personalized preventive measures or treatments.
If you are concerned about your bone health or if there are risk factors for osteoporosis, bone density measurement can help you receive appropriate guidance and prevent future problems. At Mediterraneo First Care Paros Polyclinic, reliable bone density scan services are provided to monitor and maintain your bone health at any age.
