Osteoporosis |

| Several
drug therapies now easily available in the market
have been shown to be clinically effective in
slowing down or reversing the bone-loss process.
Leading hospitals in India are well equipped to
detect and treat bone loss in its earliest states,
so as to prevent the disease or lessen its impact.
Doctors in leading hospitals have the expertise
for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis
that involves an objective, quantifiable measurement
of the patient's bone mass or bone density. Advanced
technology called the DXA for bone densitometry
is available. |
|
|
| During
a comprehensive bone valuation with DXA, the patient
lies comfortably still on a padded table while the DXA
unit scans one or more areas, usually the fractured
spine or the hip. The entire process takes only minutes
to scan depending on the number of sites scanned. It
involved no injections or invasive procedures and the
patient remains fully clothed. |
