The main parts of osteoporosis clinics are BMD (Bone Mineral Densitometry) centers. For increasing our knowledge about osteoporosis we have to increase our knowledge about BMD (Bone Mineral Density), and increasing the knowledge about BMD has a close relationship with realizing the principles and appliances of BMD machines and DXA method. For specific development in a BMD department, we need to know some historical, technical and practical points about these method and machines. In this review, the last developments in this field are suggested, also.
