Bone Density Testing

Bone density testing is used to assess the strength of your bones and the possibility of fracture in those who are at risk for osteoporosis.  Bone density testing is performed while you are lying still on a cushioned table.  A scanner will pass over your body, taking painless x-rays of your lower spine and hip.
