It is used in clinical medicine as an indicator of Osteoporosis and fracture risk.

IT is a measure of the amount of minerals mostly calcium and phosphorous contained in a certain volume of bone. The measurements are used to diagnose osteoporosis ( a condition marked by decreased bone mass) , to see how well osteoporosis treatments are working, and to predict how likely the bones are to break. Low bone mineral density can occur in patients treated for cancer.
