Overview
The Bone Densitometry course by the ISCD (International Society of Clinical Densitometry) presents the state of the art for skeletal health assessment by leading national and international faculty. Advances in the diagnosis and monitoring of osteoporosis and fracture risk assessment are presented. An advanced curriculum will be presented for physicians providing the tools for achieving excellence in skeletal health assessment including optimal BMD scan acquisition, interpretation, reporting and application of DXA technology. The limitations of DXA technology in the diagnosis and monitoring of skeletal health in pre and postmenopausal women, men and children will be presented. Common pitfalls in interpretation will be reviewed. The clinical utility of bone densitometry and quality assurance of this modality will be reviewed.
Target Audience
Physicians, nuclear medicine physicians and medical specialists.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize and report fragility fractures and know the impact on fracture risk assessment
- Evaluate fracture risk utilizing advances in skeletal imaging
- Integrate trabecular bone score with BMD and FRAX in evaluating fracture risk
- Recognize early radiographic features of atypical femoral fractures
