Can You See Osteoporosis on an X-Ray?

Can osteoporosis be seen on an X-ray? While X-rays can reveal fractures and advanced bone loss, they often miss early osteoporosis. A DEXA bone density scan provides a more accurate way to detect bone thinning before serious fractures occur. At IPMC in Northeast Philadelphia, we offer advanced imaging in a convenient outpatient setting to help protect your long-term bone health.
