A bone densitometry scan is a special type of X-ray test used to measure the calcium content of a bone. It is used primarily to detect osteopenia or osteoporosis, diseases in which the bone's density is low and the risk of fractures is high. The purpose of bone densitometry is to identify those at risk of developing osteoporosis and to monitor change in bone density, particularly with therapy.
This procedure is most commonly used to assess the lower spine and hips, and is considered the current standard for measuring bone mineral density. Bone densitometers are broadly classified as Axial Bone Densitometers and Peripheral Bone Densitometers.
The analysts forecast the Global Bone Densitometry market will grow at a CAGR of 3.32 percent over the period 2013-2018.
