- Bone densitometry is a diagnostic technique that measures bone mineral density, that is to say, its calcium content. It is the main diagnostic tool used in osteoporosis and allows determining the risk of suffering a bone fracture.
- Bone densitometry is used to assess bone health and to monitor the degree of bone loss or the response to treatment. Likewise, it allows us to detect osteoporosis in its earliest stage and thus be able to institute preventive treatment.
- Bone densitometry is a painless test. The patient does not require any special preparation, the duration of the scan being approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Our Rheumatology Unit has a state-of-the-art GE bone densitometer (iDXA model) that allows obtaining high-resolution images with advanced applications that expand and increase the reliability of the diagnosis.
- Likewise, our team’s advanced software allows scans to be performed with excellent precision.
- We have a highly qualified staff with more than 30 years of experience in the sector and certified by the ISCD (international Society of Clinical Densitometry).
