Bone Densitometry
Bone densitometry, also known as Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA), is a safe and painless procedure that helps in the early detection and management of osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions.
During a bone densitometry test, a specialized X-ray machine scans specific areas of the body, typically the spine, hip, or forearm, to measure bone mineral density (BMD). The test provides valuable information about the strength and density of bones, helping our experienced medical team evaluate your risk of fractures and osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by reduced bone mass and increased bone fragility, making individuals more susceptible to fractures, especially in the hip, spine, and wrist. Early detection through bone densitometry enables our healthcare professionals to implement preventive measures and personalized treatment plans to protect bone health and reduce the risk of fractures.
Bone densitometry is particularly important for individuals at risk of osteoporosis, including postmenopausal women, elderly individuals, those with a family history of osteoporosis, and individuals with certain medical conditions or taking specific medications that may affect bone health.
Our Diagnostic Center is equipped with state-of-the-art DEXA machines, and our highly trained technologists ensure the procedure is conducted with precision and accuracy. The test is quick, non-invasive, and involves minimal radiation exposure, making it safe for patients of all ages.
After the bone densitometry test, our medical team will interpret the results and provide you with a detailed report on your bone health. If necessary, our healthcare professionals will recommend lifestyle modifications, dietary supplements, and potential medical treatments to improve bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.
At our Diagnostic Center, we prioritize your bone health and overall well-being. Whether you need a bone densitometry test for osteoporosis screening or monitoring, our dedicated team is committed to providing you with the highest quality of care and empowering you to take proactive steps toward maintaining strong and healthy bones.
