Skeletal system evaluation using RTG absorptiometry in women with bone mineral density disorders

摘要

Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease of the skeleton, characterized by decreased bone mass and abnormal microarchitecture, which contribute to an increased risk of fractures. Currently, over 200 million people are struggling with it worldwide, and therefore it is considered a social disease. Many of the affected require constant help from others, which is often associated with an increase in the cost of health care.
