Abstract

The possible adverse consequences of osteoporosis, particularly hip fractures, are a considerable health concern that is particularly relevant for elderly women. Bone density measurement is a method to assess bone mineral that has grown rapidly in recent years in both Sweden and Australia. The types of technologies adopted, their location and their level of use reflect the characteristics of the different health care systems, health technology assessments and policies adopted by health authorities. The health policy issues related to use of these technologies are complex and include consideration of who should be examined and treated, potential risks and benefits, machine performance, patient compliance and evidence of benefit.
