DXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) measures the spine, hip, or total body. Doctors consider this test the most useful and reliable for checking bone density. QCT (quantitative computed tomography) usually measures the spine, but it can test other sites, too.

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the quality or structure of bone changes. This can lead to a decrease in bone strength that can increase the risk of fractures (broken bones).
A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of vitamin d in the diet, insufficient production of vitamin d in the skin, inadequate absorption of vitamin d from the diet, or abnormal conversion of vitamin d to its bioactive metabolites.
If you have a lower than normal bone density score — between -1 and -2.5 — you have osteopenia. If you score is lower than -2.5, you may be diagnosed with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is the more serious progression of osteopenia.
Several strategies can help you maintain bone strength and prevent bone loss:Avoid smoking.Eat a healthy, balanced diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, calcium and vitamins.Exercise every day. ... Get at least 1,200 mg of calcium daily.Get at least 800 to 1,000 IU of vitamin D daily.More items...•
Nonautologous Tissue Substitute (K)—bone is harvested by a tissue bank from a cadaver. Synthetic Substitute (J)—examples include demineralized bone matrix, synthetic bone graft extenders, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) Combinations of devices and materials are often used on a vertebral joint during a spinal fusion.
Bone grafts may be harvested locally using the same incision, or from another part of the body requiring a separate incision. Harvesting of the bone requires a separate procedure code when it is performed through a separate incision. Nonautologous Tissue Substitute (K)—bone is harvested by a tissue bank from a cadaver.
