BMD

Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Test: Assessing Bone Health with Precision

A Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test is a highly accurate diagnostic tool used to measure bone strength and assess the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. This non-invasive scan determines the density of minerals like calcium in bones, helping detect early signs of bone loss. At Magnus Diagnostic Centre, our advanced DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan ensures precise and reliable bone health assessment, allowing for timely intervention and effective treatment planning.

Why is a BMD Test Important?

A BMD test is crucial for:
✔ Detecting Osteoporosis Early – Identifies bone thinning before fractures occur.
✔ Assessing Fracture Risk – Helps evaluate the likelihood of fractures in aging individuals.
✔ Monitoring Bone Health – Tracks bone density over time, especially in postmenopausal women and elderly patients.
✔ Evaluating Treatment Effectiveness – Measures the impact of osteoporosis treatments and lifestyle changes.

Who Should Get a BMD Test?

• Women above 50 and postmenopausal women.
• Men above 60 or with a family history of osteoporosis.
• Individuals with low calcium levels, vitamin D deficiency, or frequent fractures.
• Patients on long-term steroid therapy or suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis.
