MODEL RELEASED. Bone scan. 63-year-old woman undergoing a bone densitometry scan of her spine. Bone densitometry is a method of measuring the concentration (density) of calcified material in bones. A dual energy X-ray (DEX) passes from below the examination table,up through the area being examined and is detected by the arm above the table. The results of the scan are displayed on a monitor (right). These results are compared with database information to determine the presence of osteoporosis,a bone wasting disease most common in women with lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause | |
