Osteoporosis Detection
Located at North Oaks Diagnostic Center
Osteoporosis, a disorder that causes bones to become brittle and break
more easily, is caused by loss of calcium and other mineral components.
Often thought of as a disease of the frail elderly, it’s a chronic
condition that begins during the forties and fifties, most often affecting
women. A bone density test uses X-rays to determine if you have osteoporosis.
