Bone densitometers are specialized medical devices used to measure bone density and mineral content. They are essential for diagnosing conditions such as osteoporosis and assessing fracture risk. These machines use low-dose X-rays to determine the strength and health of bones, typically focusing on areas like the spine, hip, and forearm.
