Robinson completes bone densitometry course
The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) has announced that Mary Lou Robinson, Lewis-Clark State College Professor of Nursing, has completed the ISCD Bone Densitometry Course and passed a rigorous exam on bone density testing for osteoporosis.
She is one of more than 5,000 certified clinicians and technologists worldwide.
ISCD is a nonprofit professional society of over 4,000 clinicians and technologist members from more than 40 countries. The society is committed to improving the quality of bone density testing for osteoporosis, educating healthcare providers, increasing patient awareness and supporting scientific advances.
Robinson previously studied osteoporosis in teenagers for her dissertation. She, together with Victor White, LCSC Director of Radiographic Science, received Idaho Technology Incentive Grants (ITIG) to purchase both a heel bone scan device and a Dual X-ray Absorptiometery) DXA machine.
Robinson, Clay Robinson, and White - along with students from nursing, kinesiology, and radiography - are using these new machines to study bone density in LCSC athletes and students.
