Radiologic methods of evaluating generalized osteopenia.
Noninvasive methods of evaluating generalized osteopenia include radiography, radionuclide studies, and various quantitative studies. These methods differ in availability, cost, accuracy, precision, radiation dose, and information supplied about bony change. A combination of methods is necessary to detect and follow the course and treatment of osteopenia.
