Only one in three vertebral deformities is associated with pain!
As only one in three fractures has any clinical manifestations (back pain from minor to acutely pronounced, spinal deformations, height reduction etc.), all of the elder patients are recommended to take an X-Ray Morphometric exam unless they have no osteoporosis/osteopenia, previous fractures.
Examination does not require any preliminary preparation and lasts up to 10 minutes. X-ray irradiation is kept at a minimum (similar to one produced by a mobile phone). Results are obtained immediately.
At the Ukrainian Scientific-Medical Center for Osteoporosis Problems, exam is performed by means of Hologic “Discovery WI”and Prodigy “GEHC Lunar WI” (USA) equipment.
