8 million women in America have osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, a term meaning “porous bones,” is associated with 1.5 million fractures annually including spine fractures in the hip, wrist and spine. It is a disease in which the amount of calcium in the bones slowly decreases to a point where the bones become brittle and prone to fracture.
In the past, osteoporosis could be detected only after you broke a bone. A bone density test makes it possible to know your risk of breaking bones before the fact, using low dose radiation to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone. The bones that are most commonly tested are located in the spine, hip and forearm. Bone Densitometry is a test to determine if you have osteoporosis.
