Service Overview
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more prone to fractures. Early detection is essential to prevent serious complications. At Modern Podiatry Foot and Ankle Surgery Clinic in Amman, we use the Ultrasound Bone Densitometer CM-300, a state-of-the-art device designed to measure bone density in the heel — one of the most accurate sites for detecting bone weakness in the foot and ankle.
Unlike X-rays or CT scans, this technology uses ultrasound, making it completely safe, radiation-free, and suitable even for pregnant women.
How the Test Works
- The ultrasound probe is placed at the heel bone (calcaneus).
- Sound waves are used to measure bone density and strength.
- Results are provided immediately in both graph and chart format using a built-in printer.
Why Choose Ultrasound Bone Densitometry?
- Safe: No radiation exposure, suitable for all patients.
- Quick: A simple, painless test completed within minutes.
- Accurate: Detects bone density changes in a key weight-bearing bone.
- Preventive: Identifies patients at risk of osteoporosis and fractures early.
- Convenient: Performed in-clinic with immediate results.
Who Should Get Screened?
- Adults over age 50, especially women after menopause
- Patients with a family history of osteoporosis
- Individuals with fractures from minor injuries
- Patients with chronic conditions or medications that affect bone health
- Diabetic patients or those with poor circulation increasing fracture risk
Why Choose Modern Podiatry for Bone Health Screening?
