Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic pathology, the loss of bone density, which characterizes this condition, increases bone fragility, which has a direct impact on morbi-mortality. Osteoporosis can be classified as Generalized Osteoporosis and Regional Osteoporosis. Although fractures caused by osteoporosis can be diagnosed by conventional x-ray images this method is not sensitive or specific enough for diagnosing this pathology.
Keywords
