Activity Description

We will present BMD cases which present challenges to the technologist, review the relevant data on optimizing the BMD in this case, and review how to get the information needed to provide a clinically valid and useful report. 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify which sites should be measured during bone densitometry, and under what circumstances.
  2. Identify how to optimize the technical details of the bone density measurement during follow-up scans.
  3. Identify common radiographic abnormalities on the densitometry which are actionable.

Instructions:

Clinicians and Technologists are required to answer a set of online test questions following the review of the video and will have up to three attempts to answer questions correctly before losing credit for the activity. Once the activity test has been passed (75% or higher), you will be asked to evaluate the activity online and then be allowed to claim credit and print certificates.

Dr. Harold Rosen, MD, CCD

Director of the Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment Center

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

Dr. Harold Rosen did fellowships in Endocrinology and Geriatrics at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. He spent years doing clinical research in osteoporosis, when he investigated the relationship between vitamin K and bone, thyroid hormone-induced bone loss, and the role of biochemical markers of bone turnover. In 1998 he became the Director of the Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. In this capacity he runs bone densitometry, sees patients in consultation for osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease, and does research on optimizing performance and reporting of bone densitometry. He has been active in his professional society, the ISCD (International Society for Clinical Densitometry) where he served on the Board of Directors from 2010-2013. Dr. Rosen is the recipient of the ISCD Clinician of the year Award in 2010, and the recipient of the Paul Miller award for service to the ISCD in 2017.
