electromyogram

Concept Definition
electromyogram

This examination determines the density of the bone. We perform the osteodensitometry with a quantitative ultrasound examination. The advantage: There is no radiation exposure.

The bone density measurement is mainly performed when osteoporosis is suspected.

Osteoporosis is a reduction in bone mass and bone stability. Patients with osteoporosis have a high risk of bone fractures such as a femoral neck fracture.

Appropriate countermeasures can reduce the risk of fractures if osteoporosis is detected early

Synonyms: EMG
