How is osteoporosis detected?
http://www.fosamax.com/how_is_it_detected.jsp
Osteoporosis is a silent disease. People don't know they have it until it's too late and they break a bone. The National Osteoporosis Foundation suggests asking your doctor about a bone mineral density test (BMD).

What's your bone mineral score?
http://www.fosamax.com/understanding_osteoporosis/t_scores.jsp
A bone mineral density test will give you a T-score indicating whether or not you require bone medication. The lower the score the better your bone mass is.

What is a BMD?

In order to determine if you need bone medications, your doctor will prescribe a BMD or bone mineral density test. This test is non invasive and painless. The BMD is different than a bone scan.
