Osteoporosis tests

A bone density scan is the only test used to diagnose osteoporosis because it tells you if you have normal bone density, low bone density (osteopenia) or osteoporosis.

However, as Dr Eugene Zampieron warns, “A bone scan shows that osteoporosis is there, but it. You really need to get lab work done, because the lab work will determine the way the practitioner should go with handling the case.”
