How is Osteoporosis Diagnosed?

Osteoporosis is a medical condition characterized by weak and brittle bones, making them more susceptible to fractures. It occurs when the body loses too much bone mass, does not produce enough bone, or both. This can lead to a decrease in bone density and strength.

Osteoporosis diagnosis is done through a DEXA scan. This scan helps determine the T-score of the patient.

What is the T-score?
T-score is the measurement of bone mineral density and the test measures the amount of calcium and other minerals in the body.
