What is bone densitometry?

A Bone Densitometry job involves performing specialized imaging procedures to measure bone mineral density, typically using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) scans. These professionals assess patients for osteoporosis and fracture risk, working in hospitals, clinics, or imaging centers. They ensure accurate scan results, maintain equipment, and assist physicians in diagnosing bone health conditions. Strong knowledge of radiology, patient care, and safety protocols is essential.
