A bone-density test , know as a dual-energy X-ray (DXA) exam , is proven way to gauge your risk of osteoporosis , but it’s not the only way . Now Swiss researchers say simple ultrasound of the heel can offer a useful assessment with less risk because it doesn’t use radiation .
It’s also cheaper yet still effective enough to identify people who don’t need further testing and to flag those who may benefit the most from the traditional DXA test . Ask your doc which exam is right for you .
