What is a Bone Density Scan?
A Bone Density Scan, also known as Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), is a non-invasive imaging technique used to measure the density and strength of bones. It is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis and assess the risk of fractures.
Why Do Bone Density Test Required?
During a Bone Density Scan, you will lie comfortably on an examination table while a specialized scanner passes over your body, emitting low-dose X-rays. The scanner measures the amount of X-ray energy that is absorbed by your bones, providing detailed images of bone density and strength. The procedure is quick, painless, and typically takes less than 15 minutes to complete.

What are the benefits and risks?
Bone Density Scans offer several benefits, including:
Early Detection: BMD testing allows for the early detection of osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions, enabling timely intervention and treatment.
Accuracy: Bone Density Scans provide accurate and reliable measurements of bone density, helping physicians make informed decisions about patient care.
Non-invasive: BMD testing is a non-invasive procedure that does not require anesthesia or recovery time.
While Bone Density Scans are generally safe, they do expose patients to low levels of radiation. However, the benefits of early detection and treatment far outweigh the risks associated with the procedure.
