Up-to-date treatment to assess people at potential risk of brittle bones has been seen by members of the Chichester and Bognor Regis Osteoporosis Support Group.
They visited Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital to view its DEXA scanner in action.
The scanner is used in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. The hi-tech machinery measures bone density and assesses the strength of a person's bones and the future risk of fracture.
Details about the support group's monthly meetings can be obtained by calling 01243 822615.
