Painless assessment of your bone mineral density
Low bone mineral density, and thus osteoporosis, affects approximately one in three women and one in seven men in Denmark. Osteoporosis increases the risk of bone fractures, especially fractures of the hips, lower back and pelvis, which can cause severe pain and lead to a long rehabilitation process. Therefore, it is crucial to detect the onset of osteopenia (osteopenia) and osteoporosis (osteoporosis) in good time so that the right treatment can be initiated.
A DEXA scan is an important screening tool for osteoporosis as it can be used to assess bone mineral density in individual patients. The scan is painless and takes place in a large, open scanner.
