Half of all post-menopausal women develop osteoporosis, which means low bone density and a far greater susceptibility to fracture. The good news is that with early detection, the crippling effects of this disease can be prevented. And the best technology for detecting osteoporosis is available right now at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital. It's a DEXA Scan and it’s provided by a leading edge diagnostic tool called the Hologic QDR 4500SL. Quickly and comfortably, a DEXA Scan measures the bone density in your hip, spine and forearm. Then, our board-certified radiologists interpret the results for your doctor, who will recommend the proper course for prevention or, if necessary, treatment. Remember, “osteoporosis is preventable — and treatable. That's why you should ask your doctor EE ————SSSSE
