Diagnosis of Osteoporosis

A test called as a bone density scan is necessary to identify osteoporosis and the risk of fractures. This scan is used to determine the mineral density of the body (BMD). Bone densitometry or dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry are used in the procedure (DXA or DEXA). The DXA machine generates two scores: T and Z. T score calculates the quantity of bone in the body compared to the general population and indicates the risk of fracture. The Z score determines the amount of bone you have based on your gender and age, as well as the medical tests you'll need to perform. Bone X-ray, CT scan, and MRI are some of the various modalities utilised to identify bone damage and fractures.
