Osteoporosis Screenings

Osteoporosis is a common, chronic disease that causes bones to become fragile and prone to fractures. According to the World Health Organization, about 10 million people die from osteoporosis every year around the world. The number of patients with osteoporosis is also increasing. Therefore, screening and prevention of osteoporosis are very important. In recent years, with the development of medical technology, osteoporosis screening methods have been continuously updated.

Currently, commonly used osteoporosis screening methods include bone density measurement, bone density testing, X-rays and CT scans.

* Bone density measurement is one of the most commonly used screening methods to determine the presence of osteoporosis by measuring the density of bones.

* Bone density is usually measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or single-photon absorptiometry. These methods can help doctors understand the patient's bone condition in a timely manner and take appropriate treatment measures.

* Bone density testing and X-ray and CT scans can also be used to screen for osteoporosis. Bone density testing can assess the health of your bones by measuring the content of minerals such as calcium and phosphorus in your bones. X-rays and CT scans can provide a more detailed look at the internal structure of bones, helping doctors detect bone problems caused by osteoporosis.

In short, osteoporosis is a disease that requires attention. Osteoporosis screening through bone density measurement, bone density testing, X-ray and CT scans can help patients understand their bone condition early and take corresponding treatment measures to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and improve patients' lives. quality.
