Bone Densitometry
A DEXA scan is a low energy X-ray test that measures the density (thickness) of your bones. It is the most accurate test for measuring bone density or loss of density.
What to expect from a DEXA scan?
You will need to lie still on the specially designed table as the X-ray source and detector slowly move over the areas being tested. A DEXA scan takes only 15 – 20 minutes and is a painless procedure.
