There are many imaging methods for evaluating osteoporosis. Only a limited assessment of bone density and trabecular architecture can be done by plain radiography. Radiography is most useful in finding atraumatic fractures that are associated with osteoporosis. Radionuclide bone scanning and MRI also are useful in finding these fractures. Evaluation of bone density is most frequently assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry but can be done by other methods.
评估骨质疏松症有许多影像学方法。普通 X 线摄影仅能对骨密度和小梁结构进行有限的评估。X 线摄影在发现与骨质疏松症相关的无创伤性骨折方面最有用。放射性核素骨扫描和 MRI 也有助于发现这些骨折。骨密度的评估最常通过双能 X 线吸收法进行，但也可以通过其他方法进行。
