Bone densitometry is a test like an X-ray that quickly and accurately measures the density of bone. It is used primarily to detect osteopenia or osteoporosis, diseases in which the bone’s mineral and density are low and the risk of fractures is increased. Bone densitometry technologists are radiology professionals who are responsible for measuring patients’ bone mass to determine bone health, especially for the purpose of diagnosing osteoporosis and other bone diseases.

Working in a team-based setting where everyone is committed to patient improvement is the main reason why Mary Jane chose this particular field. To her, the fast pace of working for so many doctors and meeting their deadlines while documenting facts and ensuring patient safety is a complex, yet exhilarating challenge.

An avid reader, Mary Jane likes to keep up on current health trends. She especially enjoys spending time with her two sons.
