  1. Apr 18, 2019 · Bone mineral densitometry is a test done to measure a person's bone mineral density (BMD). The measurements are used for the diagnosis of osteoporosis , estimation of the fracture risk and assessment of response to treatment. There are three ways of checking your BMD, but the most commonly used method is DEXA.

    Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD) scan is a painless, non-invasive procedure that evaluates a person’s risk of sustaining a bone fracture and helps to detect osteoporosis.

    The result from the Bone Mineral Densitometry test is reviewed by our doctor who will discuss potential changes to lifestyle and treatments with the patient. The elderly or those over 65 years of age are especially encouraged to consult their doctor for a BMD scan.

    The Bone Mineral Densitometry test uses X-rays to estimate bone density and thickness, measuring how much calcium and minerals are in a part of the bones. This service is available at SATA CommHealth Bedok or Potong Pasir Medical Centre by appointment only. Please call our Hotline at 6244 6688 for more information and/or booking of appointment. Bac...

  3. BMD is a simple X-ray procedure that uses low dose X-rays and a camera to measure the bone mineral content. It is used to estimate bone strength and the risk of bone fractures. The hips, spine or the wrist are the usual sites of fracture.

  4. Dec 9, 2022 · The National Healthcare Group Diagnostics’ Mobile Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD) provides accessible and affordable osteoporosis screening. The mobile BMD is built from a nine-metre (30-foot) container and the trailer is designed to provide a comfortable venue for the patient.

  5. A bone mineral density (BMD) test uses X-rays to measure your bone density. Osteoporosis is diagnosed when you have abnormally low bone density. This means that your bones are more fragile and prone to fractures.

  6. Bone density scanning, also called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry or bone densitometry (BMD), is a special form of X-ray technology that is used to determine bone strength and measure bone loss. The BMD machine employs low-dose X-rays with two distinct energy peaks through the bones being examined.
