(COLUMBUS, Neb.) – Older Nebraskans are at a higher risk of falls and injuries such as broken bones, but a simple test at Columbus Community Hospital can help.
Bone densitometry measures bone mineral content and density. This measurement can indicate decreased bone mass, a condition in which bones are more brittle and prone to break or fracture easily.
Columbus Community Hospital primarily uses bone densitometry to determine if you have osteoporosis, so we can give you the right treatment.
The bone mineral density test is a simple procedure that uses X-rays to measure the amount of minerals — primarily calcium — in your bones. It is non-invasive and comfortable for the patient.
