Overview
Other Imaging Findings
- According to world health organization (WHO), two diagnostic measures for osteoporosis are bone marrow density (BMD), and bone marrow content (BMC). Both of these measures concluded through dual X-ray absorbtiometry (DXA) method. The cut off point for both BMD and BMC is -2.5 T-score, compared to the normal population.[1]
