Osteoporosis Screening (Ultrasound Bone Densitometer)
WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS SCREENING?
Understanding The Basics
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and prone to fractures. Early detection is essential to prevent serious complications.
At The Modern Podiatry Foot and Ankle Surgery Clinic in Amman, we use the Ultrasound Bone Densitometer CM-300 a state-of-the-art device that measures bone density at the heel, one of the most accurate sites for detecting bone weakness in the foot and ankle.
Unlike X-rays or CT scans, this test is radiation-free, completely safe, and suitable even for pregnant women.
How the Test Works?
- The ultrasound probe is placed at the heel bone (calcaneus).
- Sound waves measure bone density and strength.
- Results are provided immediately in both graph and chart format using a built-in printer.
