BONE DENSITY (DEXA)
Our Bone Density (DEXA) exam provides fast, accurate imaging to evaluate bone strength and help detect osteoporosis and other conditions that may increase the risk of fractures.
What is a Bone Density (DEXA) Exam?
A Bone Density exam, also known as DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), is a specialized imaging test used to measure bone mineral density and assess bone health.
This exam helps physicians detect osteoporosis, monitor bone loss, and evaluate fracture risk before serious complications occur.
DEXA scans are quick, non-invasive, and considered the gold standard for evaluating bone strength and overall skeletal health.
Benefits of Bone Density (DEXA):
• Fast and non-invasive imaging exam
• Helps detect osteoporosis early
• Measures bone strength and density accurately
• Assesses fracture risk and bone loss
• Low radiation exposure
• Supports preventive and long-term bone health care
