Who invented bone density?

Researchers and doctors have developed methods to measure bone density and assess bone health over time.


Is bone static or dynamic?

Bone is dynamic tissue that is constantly undergoing a process called remodeling, where old bone is broken down and new bone is formed. This process helps to maintain bone density and strength, and is influenced by factors such as physical activity, hormones, and diet.


What is a longitudinal axis for a bone?

The longitudinal axis of a bone is an imaginary line that runs along the length of the bone from one end to the other. It helps to define the orientation and direction of forces acting on the bone, such as during movement or weight-bearing activities. Understanding the longitudinal axis is important in biomechanics and in the study of bone structure and function.


How is bone density test done?

A bone density test, known as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), is typically done by using a special scanner to measure the amount of calcium and other bone minerals in a specific area of your body, usually the hip or spine. It is a painless and non-invasive procedure that can help diagnose osteoporosis and assess your risk of bone fractures. During the test, you lie on a table while the scanner passes over your body to measure bone density.

What does a bone stimulator do in does it work?

A bone stimulator is a medical device used to promote bone healing by delivering low-level electrical or ultrasound energy to the fracture site. By stimulating the cells responsible for bone formation, it can accelerate the healing process in certain types of fractures. While results vary depending on the specific injury and individual patient factors, bone stimulators have been shown to be effective in aiding in the healing of non-healing fractures or those at risk of delayed healing.
