Osteoporosis
Frequently Asked Questions
13. How is osteoporosis
diagnosed?
The test used to diagnose osteoporosis is called a bone density
test. This test is a measure of how strong -- or dense -- your
bones are and can help your doctor predict your risk for having a
fracture. Bone density tests are painless, safe, and require no
preparation on your part.
