Bone Strength Test By Microindentation

Colorado rates for HCPCS 0547T

Measures how strong the material of the bone itself is by pressing a fine probe a tiny distance into the surface of the shin bone through a small puncture in the numbed skin. The result is given as a score, and unlike a bone density scan it reflects the quality of the bone material rather than how much mineral it holds.
