Bone densitometry is a reliable and painless test that measures bone mineral density and helps assess the risk of osteoporosis. Bone loss is frequently observed in postmenopausal women, older adults, or individuals undergoing long-term corticosteroid treatment. Such losses increase the risk of fractures and negatively affect quality of life.
Densitometry evaluates bone density in the lumbar spine, hip, and vertebrae, allowing patients to determine whether they are in a risk group and enabling early preventive measures. Regular check-ups are a critical step in reducing fracture risk and protecting bone health in the long term.
