Radius Bone Density and Fractures (On Demand)
Radius Bone Density and Fractures is organized by International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD).
Date of Original Release: August 1, 2023
Activity Expires: September 1, 2024
Activity Description:
This activity was designed to allow learners to understand the relationship between radius BMD and overall fracture risk as well as the impact of wrist fractures on skeletal health. Attendees can listen to a cogent, clear, concise, and well-referenced lecture after which they will understand the role of wrist BMD in assessing skeletal fragility predicting the risk of future fractures, and its role in osteoporosis treatment decisions.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the relationship between radius BMD and overall fracture risk.
2. Discuss the impact of wrist fractures on skeletal health.
3. Describe the role of routine radius BMD in the screening algorithms for osteoporosis.
