Service Providers for Whole body scan of bone densitometer (Dexa Scan)
A Whole Body Bone Densitometer (DEXA Scan) is a medical imaging test that measures bone mineral density (BMD) to assess bone strength and risk for fractures. Using low-dose X-rays, the DEXA scan evaluates bone density in various parts of the body, often focusing on the spine, hips, and forearm. It is primarily used to diagnose osteoporosis or to assess the risk of bone fractures, particularly in postmenopausal women, older adults, or those with conditions affecting bone health. The procedure is quick, painless, and non-invasive. Risks are minimal, involving slight radiation exposure, and results are interpreted by a radiologist to determine bone health and treatment needs.
