Bone Mineral Density (BMD)
A Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test is a medical diagnostic procedure performed to assess the density and strength of an individual's bones. This test is primarily conducted to evaluate the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by a decrease in bone density, making bones fragile and prone to fractures even with minor trauma.
