One in three Caucasian women over the age of 50 has osteoporosis. A 50-year old woman has a 40% chance of suffering an osteoporotic fracture in her lifetime. Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease that affects millions of people every year. However, early detection of this disease can lead to effective treatment.

Our bone densitometer measures changes in bone density precisely, providing invaluable information in the assessment of metabolic bone disease. Examinations are comfortable, fast and safe. Patients typically spend only minutes reclining fully-clothed on the desitometer.

Radiation exposure is very low (equivalent to 1/10th of the dosage received in a normal chest x-ray). The operator is with the patient at alll times, and results are available quickly. Our bone densitometer exam will be a valuable experience for our patients.
