Service Providers for Lateral Spine (LVA) of bone densitometer (Dexa Scan)(2205)
The Lateral Spine (LVA) measurement using a bone densitometer (DEXA scan) is a procedure that assesses the bone mineral density (BMD) of the spine, specifically the lumbar vertebrae (LVA) in a lateral (side) position. This test helps in diagnosing conditions like osteoporosis by measuring the strength and density of bones in the lower back. The DEXA scan uses low-dose X-rays to provide accurate BMD readings, and the lateral view focuses on the spine from the side, giving a clear image of the vertebrae and identifying any bone loss. The result aids in assessing fracture risk and developing treatment plans for bone health.
