Bone Density
| 
State of the Art Bone Densitometry Testing
Osteoporosis poses a serious threat to 44 million Americans, which represents 55% of people age 50 or older. 80% of Americans living with osteoporosis are women, and half of all women past menopause are at risk for developing osteoporosis. This is why detection and treatment of bone loss during this stage of life is critical. SWMC’s bone density testing services feature Hologic’s fan-beam DXA technology, which offers higher resolution and shorter scan times than other systems while maintaining excellent precision.
Be sure to talk with your physician about your risk factors for osteoporosis and find out whether a Bone Mineral Density test would be appropriate for you.
