The New CT Test for Osteoporosis (& Does It Work?)29 sept47 min

<p>Dr. Doug sits down with Dr. Tony Keaveny to explore biomechanical CT (BCT), an emerging bone imaging tool that uses CT scans and finite element analysis to measure bone density, bone strength, and fracture risk beyond what a DEXA scan can show. They compare BCT vs. DEXA and FRAX, discuss radiation exposure and new Medicare coverage, and explain who may benefit from BCT when evaluating osteoporosis, conflicting bone density results, or spine surgery risk.🔗How to order the O.N.
