Meditore Mumbai has well-trained orthopedic doctors who perform a number of diagnostic tests to identify the nature of your musculoskeletal condition and plan an appropriate course of treatment.

Bone Density Test

The only reason for this test is to find out whether you have osteoporosis. This diagnosis is based on a machine that measures the density of your bone, most commonly at the hip, spine or any other spot. The results are expressed in a T-score which will tell you if your bone density is normal or below. This score is then compared to the average peak bone density of a healthy, young who’s not yet over the age of 30.

Bone Scan

A bone scan is an imaging test which involves the usage of a really bit of radioactive drug called dye to diagnose any changes or abnormalities within the bones and to work out whether breast or prostatic adenocarcinoma has travelled to the bones. The procedure begins by injecting the radioactive substance into the bloodstream then allowing it to travel throughout the body for a couple of hours. This radioactive substance gets collected within the bone tissue at spots of abnormalities called “hot spots”. The darker the “hot spots” in your scan are, the upper the danger of getting a bone disorder.

Bone scans can also have the ability to reveal various other medical issues like

• Arthritis
• Avascular necrosis
• Fibrous Dysplasia
• Fractures
• Bone cancers
• Paget’s disease of the bone

Other Diagnosis

To diagnose arthritis, your doctor will consider your symptoms and experiences to see if you have any swollen areas or an inability to move. The blood test & X-rays may be used to distinguish what type of arthritic condition you have.
