Bone Densitometry Examinations

We at Starr County Memorial Hospital are pleased to announce the addition of new services which will enable us to better serve our community's health. SCMH will be providing Bone Densitometry Examinations (bone density exams).

What is a bone density exam?
A bone density test determines if you have osteoporosis - a disease that causes bones to become more fragile and more likely to break. Doctors use bone density testing to:

Identify decreases in bone density before you break a bone

Determine your risk of broken bones (fractures)

Confirm a diagnosis of osteoporosis

Monitor osteoporosis treatment.
