A bone densitometry is a measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) at various places such as the hip and spine and possibly the wrist or other bones. In this examination, we use a beam of very low intensity X-rays to make images of the bones. This allows us to measure the density of the bone and determine the extent of any osteoporosis.

With an NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we image the breasts by means of a magnetic field and radio waves. This is how we obtain 3D images of the inside of the body: disc images in three dimensions. No X-rays are used in an NMR examination. The examination can be considered harmless.

This type of examination is called conventional radiology or radiodiagnostics. In an RX examination, we take images of parts of the body based on X-rays. The result is called radiographs, on which abnormalities can be shown such as fractures, pneumonia, osteoarthritis, heart size, etc.
