Bone densitometry is a test that can help you understand the state of the bone and assess the risk of fracture. There are many methods that measure bone density, in our pharmacy we carry out MOC - Computerized Bone Mineralometry, based on the use of ultrasound, on dedicated days. It is a parameter that can help distinguish people with bone fragility and is completed with other hospital methods such as DEXA, X-ray axial densitometry.

MOC is particularly useful in people who cannot have X-ray examinations, such as pregnant and breastfeeding women.

 

The examination takes place with a medical device that measures the density at the bone level of the foot, consequently it will not be necessary to undress in any way.
