which diagnostic procedure is commonly used to confirm the diagnosis of osteoporosis?

Mrs. Santos, a 65-year-old female, presents to the clinic with complaints of back pain and a recent history of frequent fractures. She reports a loss of height and a stooped posture. Upon further assessment, her medical history reveals long-term use of corticosteroids for her rheumatoid arthritis. The healthcare provider suspects osteoporosis and orders further diagnostic tests.
