Forearm measurement of bone densitometer (Dexa Scan)

A Forearm Measurement using a bone densitometer (DEXA scan) is a diagnostic test that measures bone mineral density (BMD) in the forearm, typically focusing on the distal radius (the bone on the outer side of the forearm near the wrist). This scan is commonly used to assess bone strength and determine the risk of conditions like osteoporosis. During the procedure, a low-dose X-ray is passed through the forearm to measure its density. The results help healthcare providers evaluate bone health, detect bone loss, and guide treatment strategies to prevent fractures. The test is non-invasive, quick, and involves minimal radiation exposure.
