As a service to the community, Diablo Clinical Research is offering low-cost osteoporosis testing to measure bone density at the spine and the hip to determine bone loss and fracture risk.
Major risk factors for osteoporosis include:
*Being thin or having a small frame
*A family history of osteoporosis
*Female, post-menopausal
*Caucasian, Asian, Latino
*Estrogen deficiency
*Current cigarette smoking
This is a very quick, simple and painless test. Your results will be reviewed by one of our certified bone densitometrists, Mark Christiansen, MD or Richard Weinstein, MD. You will receive a written report of your test along with recommendations to be reviewed with your physician. Cost is $75.00.
