Bone densitometry, also known as bone mineral density (BMD) testing, is a technique used to measure the density of minerals (such as calcium) in bones. It is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition characterized by decreased bone density and increased risk of fractures. The most common type of bone densitometry is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA), which uses low-dose X-rays to measure bone density in the spine, hip, or forearm. The results are often used to assess fracture risk and guide treatment decisions.
