Interpretation of Bone Densitometry
Copyright policy )Interpretation of Bone Densitometry
Considerable progress has been made in the development of methods for assessing the skeleton noninvasively so that a) osteoporosis can be detected early, b) osteoporosis progression and response to therapy can be carefully monitored, and/or c) the risk of fracture can be effectively ascertained. This review assesses the current capabilities of bone densitometry methods as well as recent technical advances in these methods. It also delineates the criteria for appropriate use of bone densitometry.
