Bone Health and Integrity Analysis Screening
Registration Required via NYUiLearn
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
10:00 am – 1:30 pm
Location: Kimmel Center, Room 914
Bone is living tissue that is always being absorbed and replaced. When the formation of new bone occurs at a slower rate than the removal of old bone, osteoporosis occurs. Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease. It causes bones to become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of unexpected fractures.
It’s never too early or too late to assess your bone health. Bone density screenings are quick, painless, and non-invasive. The Achilles Express device, used in the bone density screening, utilizes an ultrasonometer which is placed around the ankle. The results are available in minutes.
To ensure the accuracy of the test results, please do not wear clothing that will obstruct access to the ankle (i.e. stockings or other fabrics.)
