Lateral vertebral assessment

Lateral vertebral assessment

An existing compression fracture of the spine due to osteoporosis increases the risk of subsequent fractures, regardless of bone density. The assessment is performed with a single view of the spine using a lower radiation dose from traditional X-rays. Results of this non-invasive test provide a highly useful tool to assess your fracture status and may assist in the management of your health care.
