Bone densitometry is generally used to check the degree of osteoporosis, and the results of bone densitometry in regular hospitals are relatively accurate.
Bone densitometry is a commonly used clinical test to measure the quality of bones, bone strength and the degree of osteoporosis. Commonly used bone densitometry tests include CT, dual-energy X-ray bone densitometry and ultrasound bone densitometry.
At present, the most commonly used clinical bone density tester is the dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer, which can be used to check bone density in several parts of the body, such as the hip joint, lumbar spine, wrist, etc., and its accuracy rate is relatively high.
The bone density test can determine the quality of the patient’s bones and the degree of osteoporosis, providing a diagnostic basis for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. When osteoporosis occurs in the bones, the measured bone density is significantly lower than normal, and the measured value can be used for clinical reference and the results are reliable.
Due to the wide distribution of bones, it is not possible to confirm the specific degree of osteoporosis only by the bone density examination of a single site, nor can it completely diagnose the existence of serious osteoporosis lesions in the whole body bones, it is also necessary to judge according to the specific site, and if necessary, it is necessary to combine with the clinical and other examinations.
Patients who have osteoporosis after the bone density test can take anti-osteoporosis medication under the guidance of the doctor, and should strengthen nutrition and exercise in daily life to improve osteoporosis.
