| Bone Density |
 A Bone Density test uses special x-rays to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone. The higher your mineral content, the denser your bones are. The denser your bones, the stronger they generally are and less likely to break. Doctors use bone density tests to determine if you have osteoporosis.
Bone density tests are not the same as Bone Scans. Bone scans require an injection beforehand and are usually used to detect fractures, cancer, infections and other abnormalities in the bone |
