Numbers that help protect your bones.
A bone mineral density test gives your physician a measurement of how strong your bones are. It uses low-energy X-ray to estimate the calcium and minerals they contain.
The results help detect osteoporosis, assess the chance of fracture and track change over time. The scan is quick and painless, and athletes sometimes use it as well.
