dc.description.abstract | Osteoporosis is characterised by low bone mineral density and micro-architectural
deterioration of bone leading to an increased risk of low trauma fractures, associated
morbidity and mortality. This article describes the advances in imaging of osteoporosis
including opportunistic identification of low bone density and vertebral fractures. A recap of
the imaging required in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis is also covered since
it is important to include imaging within the patient pathway, especially where vertebral
fractures are suspected. Additional imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging
are important to aid differential diagnosis where the cause of the fracture is unclear.
Clinicians reviewing imaging examinations, radiographers and radiologists reporting these
must be vigilant for the presence of osteoporosis and play a major role in ensuring these
patients have their risks highlighted so that they are put onto the appropriate pathway for
diagnosis and treatment. Fracture liaison services provide a robust system for ensuring
appropriate capture and follow-up of patients at risk of osteoporosis. | en_GB |
