Bone Densitometry in Olbia
Bone Densitometry, better known as BMD (Bone Mineral Densitometry), is a crucial diagnostic test to thoroughly and accurately assess the health of bones, as well as to predict potential fracture risks. This examination measures bone mass, which includes the amount of calcium and other minerals such as phosphorus, fluorine, and magnesium that give bones their properties such as hardness, rigidity, and strength.
Ideal for diagnosing the degree of osteoporosis, bone densitometry is a state-of-the-art technique that uses a significantly lower dose of radiation compared to a CT scan. It can be performed by appointment at Dr Mario Franco Demuro’s practice at Viale Aldo Moro 102 in Olbia.
The BMD examination
To date, Bone Densitometry using X-ray absorption techniques is the most recommended solution for the diagnosis and subsequent monitoring of osteopenia and osteoporosis. The test can determine any reduction in bone mineral content, thus identifying the onset of the condition.
In this way, the patient, together with their doctor, can implement appropriate measures such as diet, physical activity, and therapies aimed at stopping its progression. This test is particularly useful for postmenopausal women, as they are more susceptible to bone demineralisation due to hormonal changes associated with this stage of life.
