densidad mineral ósea
Scope note: Cantidad de mineral por centímetro cuadrado de HUESO. Es la definición utilizada en la práctica clínica. La densidad ósea real se expresaría en gramos por mililitro. Se determina más frecuentemente por ABSORCIOMETRÍA DE RAYOS X o TOMOGRAFÍA COMPUTARIZADA POR RAYOS X. La densidad ósea es un predictor importante de OSTEOPOROSIS.
