The demand for osteoporosis detection services using the latest bone densitometry equipment is rapidly increasing for three main reasons. First and foremost, the
Medicare Bone Mass Measurement Coverage Standardization Act
signed by President Clinton on August 7, 1997 mandates preventative care for high risk individuals, and guarantees bone density reimbursements. Secondly, WHO studies suggest that greater numbers of elderly people will be considered a high risk for osteoporosis and demanding osteoporosis detection services. Finally, newly discovered medicines and treatments for osteoporosis will drive a greater need for early detection of osteoporosis.
