Overview
The main radiographic features of generalized osteoporosis are cortical thinning and increased radiolucency.
Indications for X-ray
Conventional radiography is useful, both by itself and in conjunction with CT or MRI, for:
- Detecting complications of osteopenia, such as fractures
- Differential diagnosis of osteopenia
- Follow-up examinations in specific clinical settings, such as soft tissue calcifications, secondary hyperparathyroidism, or osteomalacia in renal osteodystrophy.
Findings on X-ray
- The main radiographic features of generalized osteoporosis are cortical thinning and increased radiolucency.
- Fractures
- Kyphosis
Radiography is relatively insensitive to detection of early disease and requires a substantial amount of bone loss (about 30%) to be apparent on x-ray images.
