Overview
Bone scan can be used to detect osteoporosis sooner than X ray. Bone densitometry is also used to detect changes in bone density and monitor results of treatment.
Other Imaging Findings
A bone scan of the affected limb may detect patchy osteoporosis even sooner than X ray. Bone densitometry can also be used to detect changes in bone mineral density. It can also be used to monitor the results of treatment, as bone densitometry parameters improve with treatment.
