Bone Density Test in NYC

Manhattan Primary Care

Osteoporosis is a disorder where bones are more fragile and likely to break. Our doctors in New York City recommend a bone density test to determine if you have osteoporosis. Previously, physicians would only suspect osteoporosis if you had already broken a bone by which time your bones could be quite fragile. A bone density test is a way to calculate your risk of breaking bones more accurately.
The bones most often tested are:

Hip
Spine
Forearm
Another method is to use quantitative computed tomography, but this uses higher levels of radiation than other tests.
