Densitometric examination allows to assess bone mineral density. The examination is performed using an apparatus that emits small amounts of X-rays. During the diagnosis, the patient lies on a special table, and the device x-rays the bone tissue in a given area of ​​the body - most often it is the proximal epiphysis of the femur or the lumbar spine. Densitometry is a completely painless examination and does not require any special preparation. The results are presented in the form of indicators that compare the bone mineral density of the examined person with the bone density of the healthy population (T-score) and people in the same age group (Z-score).
