Bone density measurement is performed to evaluate bone health, and MRI allows detailed assessment of vertebral compression fractures (including old fractures), which are common osteoporotic fractures that may be difficult to detect on X-rays.
This examination is also recommended for individuals experiencing lower back pain.

Recommended For
• Postmenopausal women
• Individuals experiencing lower back pain

MRI Examination of Thoracic & Lumbar Spine with Bone Density Measurement
• A 1.5 Tesla MRI is used to perform diagnostic imaging of the thoracic and lumbar spine.

• Bone density measurement is conducted to evaluate bone health, and MRI enables detailed assessment of vertebral compression fractures (including old fractures), which are typical osteoporotic fractures that may be difficult to detect on X-rays.

• As lumbar spine MRI is included, this course is also recommended for individuals concerned about lower back pain.
