Our Bone & Joint Health Package (4 Parameters) is meticulously designed to provide you with insights into your bone health. This comprehensive package includes tests such as Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Whole Body, Vitamin D, X-ray of the Leg, and Calcium levels. By evaluating these parameters, we aim to assess your bone density, vitamin levels, and detect any potential issues affecting your bone and joint health.

Why are these tests necessary?

1. Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Whole Body: BMD testing helps in assessing bone density and strength, crucial for diagnosing osteoporosis and evaluating the risk of fractures.
2. Vitamin D: Vitamin D plays a vital role in bone health by aiding calcium absorption and promoting bone mineralization. Low vitamin D levels can lead to weakened bones and increased fracture risk.
3. X-ray of the Leg: X-ray imaging of the leg helps in detecting fractures, bone deformities, or joint abnormalities that may affect mobility and overall bone health.
4. Calcium: Calcium is essential for building and maintaining strong bones. Measuring calcium levels in the blood helps in diagnosing conditions such as osteoporosis and assessing overall bone health.

FAQs:

Q: How long does the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test take? A: The BMD test typically takes around 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the equipment used and the specific areas being scanned.

Q: Is the X-ray of the Leg safe? A: Yes, X-rays are a safe and commonly used imaging technique. Our experienced radiology team ensures minimal radiation exposure while obtaining clear and accurate images of your leg.

Q: Can I eat or drink before the tests? A: Unless instructed otherwise by our healthcare professionals, you can follow your regular diet before the tests. However, if fasting is required for specific tests, our team will provide you with clear fasting instructions.
