An estimated 10 million Americans suffer from osteoporosis, which is a thinning of bone tissue and bone density. The hormonal changes of menopause are one of the triggers of osteoporosis, which leads to more women than men developing osteoporosis. The Baylor Women's Center at Plano offers advanced bone density scanning to detect osteoporosis including Hologic® bone density scanning.
