What is a DEXA Scan?
A DEXA scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a quick, painless, and highly accurate test used to measure bone mineral density (BMD). It helps in detecting conditions like osteoporosis, osteopenia, and assessing the risk of bone fractures.
Why is a DEXA Scan Important?
Early detection of osteoporosis before fractures occur
Accurate fracture risk assessment
Monitoring bone health during treatment
Safe, low-radiation procedure
Who Should Get a DEXA Scan?
Women above 40–50 years (especially post-menopause)
Men above 50 with risk factors
People with history of fractures, low calcium, or Vitamin D deficiency
Patients on long-term steroids or certain medications
Diabetic or thyroid patients with bone weakness
How is the Test Done?
The scan is non-invasive and takes only 10–15 minutes.
You simply lie down while a low-dose X-ray measures your bone density, usually at the spine, hip, or wrist.
No injections or special preparation required.
