Densitometry
A diagnostic method that allows you to measure bone density and detect osteoporosis in the early stages. The study helps to assess the risk of fractures, determine the level of calcium and the overall structure of bones.
Densitometry is important for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, a disease in which bones lose their density and become brittle. Early diagnosis helps to prevent possible fractures. The study is especially relevant for people over the age of 50.
The densitometry procedure is recommended for frequent fractures, back pain, hormonal disorders and in the presence of diseases such as diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders or long-term treatment with hormonal drugs.
2-3 days before the study, exclude foods with a high calcium content from the diet (for example, cottage cheese). Stop taking medications containing calcium and phosphorus (in consultation with your doctor). Inform the doctor about the presence of pregnancy or metal implants in the body.
The patient is placed on a special couch or table, and a sensor is placed above the area under study. The procedure takes from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the examination area. The patient must remain motionless throughout the procedure to obtain accurate results. If a limb examination is performed, it goes faster and takes only a few minutes.
Our clinic uses a Prodigy GE densitometer. High accuracy in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Low radiation dose, which makes it safe for most patients. The possibility of examining various parts of the body. Fast processing of the results.
The densitometry procedure does not require time to recover. After the examination, the patient can immediately return to daily activities. If necessary, the doctor may recommend dietary adjustments or prescribe treatment to increase bone density.
