We are
pleased to offer state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and methods that
allow us to provide an early diagnosis for patients at risk for
osteoporosis. We use the Hologic Discovery bone densitometer, which
delivers fast, high-resolution images with unsurpassed precision and
patient convenience.
Osteoporosis affects 28 million Americans - 80% of whom are women.
Each year, this debilitating disease contributes to more than 1.5
million new fractures of the hip, spine and forearm.
With
the availability of effective drug therapies, there's new hope for
millions of women and men with osteoporosis. However, to assure that
patients at risk for fracture receive proper treatment, they must
first be identified. The treatment of osteoporosis should begin with
an objective, quantifiable measurement of the patient's bone
density.
