Bone Densitometer

A patient’s bone density can be measured and followed over time using the Lunar Bone Densitometer at Mission Regional Medical Center. If the bone density is low, or decreases at an abnormally fast rate, the patient may be at risk for osteoporosis. The densitometer measures the density of the spine, hip, and other bones, which are the most frequent sites of fracture.

For more information on the Bone Densitometer or to schedule an appointment, please call the Breast Care Center at 956-323-1700.
