This presentation will review bone health, including foundational information related to bone structure and the physiology of bone.  The presentation also provides an in-depth examination of osteoporosis as defined by the World Health Organization. Osteoporosis types, causes and risk factors will be reviewed, including a multi-system review of associated diseases. The etiology of osteoporosis, including its contributing factors, will also be discussed. The presentation will also take a look at the purpose, definition and guidelines for imaging, as well as qualified individuals, covered under the Bone Mass Measurement Act.  This information is important for radiologic technologists to know in order to help provide a diagnosis of osteoporosis.
