| Title: | Excellence in Bone Densitometry |
| Brief: | Osteoporosis is a major health problem that affects more than 28 million people in the U.S. Ongoing research advances have created optimism and treatment options for those who have been diagnosed with the disease. The importance of early diagnosis is critical because of the preventive nature of osteoporosis, therefore accurate and precise measurements by DXA technologists are essential. This seminar will provide with the most recent information on bone densitometry treatment and prevention. You will also obtain a solid foundation in clinical bone densitometry as well as the tools necessary to enhance the quality of your bone densitometry procedures and services. In addition, the mock registry examination and review will also be a valuable guide for those preparing for the ARRT or ISCD Bone Densitometry Certification Examinations. |
