Examination
Bone density measurement
The firmness of the skeletal apparatus is determined with an osteodensitometry. Bones often become brittle and break more readily with advancing age since the bone metabolism changes over time. We produce our results with a low-radiation DEXA bone density scan. Medications for osteoporosis are available.
