Topics about Medical Tests & Examinations
- BONE DENSITY TEST
- A bone density test, or scan, is designed to check for osteoporosis, a disease that occurs when the bones become thin and weak. Osteoporosis happens when the bones lose calcium and other minerals that keep them strong. Osteoporosis begins after menopause in many women, and worsens after age 65, often resulting in serious fractures. These fractures may not only bring disability, but may affect longevity. As many as one-fourth of women who fracture their hip after age 50 die within one year.
- BONE GROWTH STIMULATION
- Bone growth stimulation is the technique of promoting bone growth in difficult to heal fractures by applying a low electrical current or ultrasound to the fracture.
- BONE MARROW ASPIRATION AND BIOPSY
- Bone marrow aspiration, also called bone marrow sampling, is the removal by suction of fluid from the soft, spongy material that lines the inside of most bones. Bone marrow biopsy, or needle biopsy, is the removal of a small piece of bone marrow.
- BONE MINERAL DENSITY
- Following a comprehensive medical assessment, your doctor may recommend a bone mineral density (BMD) tests to measure bone density in the spine, wrist and/or hip. These are the most common sites of fractures due to osteoporosis, a disorder in which bones gradually become thinner and weaker. Other tests measure bone in the heel or hand. The tests are painless, noninvasive and safe.
- BONE NUCLEAR MEDICINE SCAN
- A bone scan is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate abnormalities involving bones and joints. A radioactive substance is injected intravenously, and the image of its distribution in the skeletal system is analyzed to detect certain diseases or conditions.
- BONE X-RAYS
- Bone x rays are a diagnostic test in which ionizing radiation passing through the bones being examined enables an image to be produced on film.
- BOWEL PREPARATION
- Bowel preparation is a procedure usually undertaken before a diagnosis and /or treatment can be initiated for certain colon and rectum diseases. Bowel preparation is a cleansing of the intestines from fecal matter and secretions.
- BREAST SELF-EXAMINATION
- A breast self-examination (BSE) is an inspection by a woman of her breasts to detect breast cancer.
