Osteoporosis – How Central Queensland Radiology can support you

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become fragile and brittle, leading to a higher risk of breaks. The risk increases with age; 1 in 2 women women and 1 in 3 men over the age of 60 are at risk of an osteoporotic fracture. Osteoporosis is both treatable and preventable. Treatment is more successful when bone loss is detected at the earliest stage.
