Bone Densitometry
Low bone mass affects women and men. If you are a woman over 50 your risk becomes much higher. Simple common sense life choices can reduce your risk – healthy diet, active living, reduced alcohol and no smoking. Osteoporosis is both preventable and treatable. Both the American Medical Association and the National Osteoporosis Foundation recommend a bone density exam yearly or every other year for women over the age of 50, or as prescribed by your personal doctor. That’s why we are pleased to announce that St. John’s has acquired the best technology available today for bone health assessment, the Discovery QDR bone densitometry system from Hologic.
We are committed to providing you the highest quality of care available. For more information or to schedule an appointment for your bone density exam, please contact us at 718-869-7780.
