What is Bone Mineral Density (BMD)
In our department, we currently have two Bone Mineral Density (BMD) units, including the advanced Hologic Horizon WI. This state-of-the-art technology offers highly accurate measurements of bone density, enabling doctors to assess bone health and detect conditions like osteoporosis early. These units provide reliable results to support the prevention and management of bone-related conditions.
Key Features
Accurate Bone Density Measurements
Provides precise measurements of bone mineral density, especially in critical areas like the spine, hip, and forearm, helping assess bone strength and osteoporosis risk.
Early Detection of Osteoporosis
Detects osteoporosis in its early stages, even before fractures occur, allowing for timely interventions and treatments to prevent further bone loss.
Fracture Risk Assessment
Assesses fracture risk by evaluating bone density, especially for postmenopausal women, the elderly, or those with risk factors for bone diseases.
Quick and Comfortable Scans
Fast, non-invasive, and painless scans ensure patient comfort while offering highly accurate results with low radiation exposure.
Comprehensive Reports
Generates detailed reports to help healthcare providers make informed decisions on treatments, such as medications or lifestyle changes, to improve bone health.
