 nciples and Procedures Bone densitometry is a very hot topic. It is pr
 oving to be a key tool in the diagnosis and treatment outcomes of oste
 oporosis. There are an estimated 44 million Americans affected by oste
 oporosis each year. The cost of managing the consequences of this dise
 ase cost the health care system in the United States billions of dolla
 rs. The inclusion of bone densitometry as a reimbursable Medicare proc
 edure has focused attention on who is performing the procedures and on
  personnel training requirements. This comprehensive training program 
 will prepare you to meet and exceed the current training requirements.
  Every aspect of principles, theory, practical knowledge and skills to
  perform bone densitometry will be highlighted. This course will meet 
 the needs of those new to the field or those wishing to expand their k

 veloped by an ARRT registered and ISCD credentialed densitometrist and
  includes topics that will assist those interested in credentials thro
 ugh the International Society of Clinical Densitometry and the ARRT Re
 gistry for Bone Densitometry. This course is designed for all healthca
 re professionals who are planning to or are currently performing bone 
 densitometry measurements in either clinical practice, women's healthc
 are or imaging facilities. Please note: Healthcare professionals who a
 re not registered radiologic technologists should also register for th
