What is osteoporosis?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\r\n

Osteoporosis (\"porous bone\") is a disease in which bone density and quality decrease. As it progresses, bones become more fragile and the risk of fractures increases. Densitometry is a reference for that risk.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n

What is a bone densitometry?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\r\n

A DEXA bone densitometry (WHO gold standard) is a low-dose X-ray that evaluates calcium in the bones, measuring Bone Mineral Density in the lumbar spine and hip. If one of these regions cannot be scanned, it will be measured on a forearm.<\/p>\n

The DEXA system compares the quantity and quality of your skeleton with respect to two references: that of a young person and what is expected for your age and sex. During the exam, which takes 15 minutes, you will remain lying down and relaxed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n
