Specializations - Densitometry - Prague
Densitometry
At the Pavel Kolář Center for Movement Medicine, we perform densitometric examinations aimed at diagnosing bone density and early detection of osteoporosis or other conditions associated with bone loss. The examination is quick, gentle, and represents an important part of preventive and follow-up care for the musculoskeletal system.
What is densitometry?
Densitometry is a specialized test that measures the density of bone tissue and the amount of minerals in bones. This can help detect a decrease in bone quality before more serious complications, such as fractures, develop.
The examination is particularly helpful in diagnosing osteoporosis, monitoring the development of bone density, or checking the effectiveness of treatment. Early detection of changes allows for appropriate preventive and therapeutic measures to be taken.
Why undergo a densitometric examination?
Densitometry allows:
- detect the risk of osteoporosis at an early stage,
- assess the quality of bone mass,
- monitor changes in bone density over time,
- to control the effect of treatment affecting bone tissue,
- reduce the risk of future fractures.
We recommend the examination especially for older patients, postmenopausal women, people with repeated fractures, or patients taking long-term treatment that may negatively affect bone quality.
How the examination is carried out
Densitometric examination is painless and time-saving. The measurement itself takes approximately 30 minutes.
During the examination, the patient lies on their back and is asked to remain still for several minutes. The device then uses a very low dose of X-rays to measure bone density.
The examination does not require special preparation and after its completion, the patient can immediately return to normal activities.
When is densitometry appropriate?
We recommend the examination especially in the following cases:
- suspected osteoporosis,
- repeated or unusually occurring fractures,
- long-term treatment affecting the quality of bone mass,
- preventive check-up in older age,
- monitoring the development of already diagnosed osteoporosis.
Contraindications to the examination
Densitometric examination cannot be performed in the following cases:
- pregnancy,
- X-ray examination with contrast agent in the last 7 days,
- inability to remain still for several minutes while lying on your back.
Modern instrumentation
At our workplace, we use a modern bone densitometer from the Hologic brand, which provides very accurate and reliable measurement results. Thanks to the high quality of diagnostics, we are able to assess the condition of bone tissue in detail and recommend appropriate further care.
Examination price
The price of a densitometric examination is 1,500 CZK.
