DEXA Scans

DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans are a non-invasive, highly accurate method for measuring bone mineral density (BMD). This simple procedure uses low-dose X-rays to assess bone strength and detect conditions like osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. By focusing on areas such as the spine, hips, and femur, DEXA scans can identify early signs of bone loss, enabling timely treatment to prevent fractures and improve bone health.
