Dexa scan (New Delhi)

Dexa scan

A DEXA bone density scan, also known as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, is a painless, non-invasive imaging diagnostic technique used to measure your bone mineral density and the level of bone loss. The DEXA scan results assist orthopedics in confirming the presence or risk of osteoporosis and fractures. The DEXA bone density test can help you figure out how strong your bones are and how vulnerable you are to fractures and other bone problems. The hips and spine, two of the body s most vulnerable skeletal systems, are the focus of this bone imaging examination. The DEXA bone scan is an outpatient procedure that takes around 10 to 20 minutes and allows you to return home the same day. Because he uses two X-ray beams, a high energy beam and a low energy beam, his bone scanning approach is far more efficient than a standard X-ray. T-score refers to the findings of a DEXA bone scan. The bone health of a 30-year-old is used as a benchmark in this grading system because the bones are at their strongest at this age.
