Osteoporosis
  • thin osteoid = thin bone
3
List the features of Osteoporosis
  • Osteopenia
  • Cortical thinning- “pencil-thin”
  •  Resorption of nonstress-bearing  trabeculae
  • Altered vertebral shape
4
Describe this film.
  • radiolucency
  • altered trabecular pattern
  • wedge-shaped vertebrae, compressed vertebrae
    • fish vertebrae
    • Schmorls nodes


  • Osteoporosis
5
This is:
  • osteoporosis
6
Osteoporosis
  • Diagnosis?
7
Diagnosis
  • pathological compression fracture
  • Front to back compression
8
Diagnosis?
  • osteoporotic hip fracture


9
What is Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry
(DEXA scan)
  • Evaluates osteopororsis
  • Low energy x-rays are passed through the bones to measure the mineral (calcium) content of the bones
  • A bone density measurement will determine the bone mineral density (BMD) for the area measured and compares that result with the average BMD of young adult normals of similar sex and race at their peak BMD.
