Densitometry is a method of diagnosing the density and probability of bone fractures. This analysis measures the level of calcium, total density and structure, the thickness of the surface layer of bones. Thanks to this study, you can identify osteoporosis at an early stage and begin treatment in a timely manner. It also helps prevent calcium deficiency in pregnant women, which is important for proper fetal development.
Ultrasound examination
The inspection device generates ultrasonic waves with a frequency of more than 3 MHz. In the process, the speed of the wave passing through the bone tissue varies depending on its density. All data on the change of this speed is recorded and then used for diagnosis and comparison with normal values.
This procedure is completely painless and harmless and is suitable for pregnancy or other restrictions associated with the ban on radiation.
