Abstract

The only rationale for diagnosing low bone mineral density (BMD), recommended by WHO, is dual Energy absorptiometry known as DEXA, it is easy to handle, painless for patient and accorate. It sensivity enables to measure bone mineral density and follow the changes in BMD therapy. Quantitative ultrasonography is ideal for screening patients with suspected low BMD but relation between calcanear BMD and risk to hip or vertebral fragility fracture needs to be further investigated. Measuring biochemical bone markers is good method for detecting bone turnover but no bone mass and is especialy worth in evaluating therapy.
