Bone Density Screening

About Bone Density Screenings

Bone density screening is a quick, non-invasive, pain-free test that measures the strength and density of your bones. The procedure uses a machine that sends low-energy X-rays through your bones.

We’ll measure the amount of radiation absorbed by your bones and use the information to determine your bone density compared to the average bone density for people of your age, gender, and ethnicity.

At Mid South Internal Medicine, we offer state-of-the-art bone density screening services that are accurate, reliable, and easy to access.

Our team of experienced healthcare professionals uses the latest technology and equipment to perform bone density tests that are fast, painless, and non-invasive. We also provide comprehensive reports that explain the results of your bone density screening in simple, easy-to-understand language.

Who Should Consider a Screening?

Bone density screening is particularly important for Mid-South people at risk of developing osteoporosis or related bone conditions.

This includes women who are postmenopausal, people with a family history of osteoporosis, individuals who have had prolonged use of certain medications such as glucocorticoids, and those with medical conditions that can affect bone health, such as hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, or chronic kidney disease.

Benefits of a Bone Density Screening

Early detection of low bone density can help prevent or delay the onset of osteoporosis, which causes bones to become brittle and weak, increasing the risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is a major health concern, especially for women, and it affects millions of people worldwide.

In fact, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, approximately 54 million Americans have low bone density or osteoporosis, which is expected to increase to over 64 million by 2020.
