BONE Structure
![Page 3: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cellular StructureThere are several types of cells constituting the bone :-Osteoblasts are bone-forming cells.They produce alkaline phosphatase which helps in
mineralisation of bone.
-Osteocytes Their functions incude matrix maintenance and
calcium homeostasis.
-Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for bone resorption,thus they break
down bone. New bone is then formed by the osteoblasts.

Women build bone from birth until age 30-35 yr when they achieve peak bone mass.
● Most women maintain peak bone mass until menopause.
● Bone loss occurs most rapidly in the first 3 yrs after menopause.
● Increased life expectancymore years of potential bone loss.

Means "porous bones," causes bones to become weak and brittle – so brittle that even mild stresses like bending over, lifting a vacuum cleaner or coughing can cause a fracture.
NORMAL OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis

MANY PEOPLE WON’T KNOW
UNTIL THEY HAVE THEIR 1ST FRACTURE
THEY HAVE OSTEOPOROSIS

Risk Factors
![Page 10: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
RISK FACTORS FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
1. Steroid medications > 3 months2. Chronic anticonvulsant therapy3. Men with low testosterone, any other secondary
cause of osteoporosis4. Chronic kidney disease5. Early menopause 6. History of hormone treatment for prostate cancer
or breast cancer7. Strong family history of osteoporosis8. Significant loss of height (vertebral compression
fractures)

Generally breaks the bones of the:
• Wrist• Spine• Hip
Osteoporotic Patient
![Page 12: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• The diagnosis of osteoporosis can be made by using conventional radiography and by measuring the BMD using DEXA which is the gold standard for diagnosis.
Diagnosis
![Page 13: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The main radiographic features of generalized osteoporosis are cortical thinning and increased radiolucency.
Diagnosis
![Page 14: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is a Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test?
• A bone mineral density test is an easy,reliable test that measures the density or thickness of bones.
• It measures the amount of mineral (calcium) in a specific area of the bone.
• The more mineral in the bone measured, the greater is the bone density or bone mass.
![Page 15: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What are guidelines for doing a BMD Examination?
![Page 16: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A BMD test can:
1. Measures the bone mineral density and compares it to that of an established standard.
2. Detect osteoporosis before a fracture occurs
3. Monitor the effectiveness of treatments for osteoporosis and osteopenia.
![Page 18: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How does the procedure work?• The DEXA machine sends a thin, invisible beam of
low-dose x-rays with two distinct energy peaks through the bones being examined.
• One peak is absorbed mainly by soft tissue and the other by bone.
• The soft tissue amount can be subtracted from the total and what remains is a patient’s bone mineral density.
• DEXA machines feature a special software that compute and display the bone density measurements on a computer monitor.
![Page 19: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Procedure
1. This examination is usually done on an outpatient basis.
2. Dexa measures bone density in the hip and spine or forearm.
3. The patient lies on a padded table.
4. An x-ray generator is located below the patient and an imaging device, or detector, is positioned above.
![Page 20: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Lumbar Spine Position
To assess the spine, the patient's legs are supported on a padded box to flatten the pelvis and lower (lumbar) spine.
![Page 21: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Use High definition for
patients with heavy weight.• Cover from L1-L4.• The Lines have to be parallel
to intervertebral space.• Avoid Metals• Delete osteophyte
Spine Region of Interest (ROI)

Hip Joint position
• To assess the hip, the patient's foot is placed in a brace that rotates the hip inward.
![Page 25: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Hip Joint Region of Interest (ROI)
• Use femoral neck, or total proximal femur whichever is lowest.
• BMD may be measured at either hip.
• Internal rotation of femur so that no or little lesser trochanter is visualized.
![Page 26: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Correct Hip ROI
The Femur image shows the greater trochanter (1), femoral neck (2), and ischium (3).
A minimum of three centimeters of tissue should be shown above the greater trochanter and below the ischium.
![Page 27: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Neck ROI should be positioned as follows:
● The Neck ROI includes no part of the greater
trochanter
● The Neck ROI includes soft tissue on either side of the neck
● The Neck ROI is perpendicular to the femoral neck
● The Neck ROI contains little or no ischium
Correct Hip ROI
![Page 28: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Results
• The results of the test are usually reported as a "T score" and "Z score."
![Page 37: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
T-SCORE
• The T score compares your bone density with that of healthy young adult.
• A score of 0 means your BMD is equal to the standard for a healthy young adult.
![Page 38: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Z-SCORE• The Z score compares your bone density
with that of other people of same age, gender, wt and ethnicity.
• A low Z-score (below —2.0) is a warning sign that you have less bone mass or that you are losing bone more rapidly than expected for someone of your age.
![Page 39: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Results
• In either score, a negative number means you have thinner bones than the standard.
• The more negative the number, the higher your risk of a bone fracture.

How Often ?
• 2 years for women with osteoporosis or who are at high risk.
• Because the response to treatment occurs slowly, this is usually an acceptable time interval.
• 6 months In cases with high bone turnover rates, like women taking high-dose steroids.
![Page 44: Bone Mineral Density](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55b6d663bb61eb220f8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Awareness is essential amongst general public.• Always ask the patient about the last BMD done, any
surgical procedure, or contrast study done recently.• Correct positioning, scanning and analysis help in patients
diagnosis and treatment.
