Bone density measurement by DXA at the hip and spine is generally considered the most reliable way to diagnose osteoporosis and predict fracture risk.
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by deterioration of bone tissue and loss of bone strength.
The condition can progress over time and cause bone to become increasingly porous and weak and break more easily.The gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis is a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) scan, also called a bone densitometry scan.
