🦴 Bone Densitometry (DEXA): Precise Osteoporosis Screening

Bone densitometry, also called DEXA scan, is an imaging exam that accurately measures bone mineral density. It is mainly used to detect osteoporosis or assess fracture risk, particularly in postmenopausal women and older adults.

🩺 Why have a bone densitometry exam?
This test is recommended to:

• Detect or monitor osteoporosis
• Assess fracture risk in at-risk individuals
• Track the effectiveness of bone treatments
• Evaluate patients with a history of fractures or height loss
• Monitor those under long-term corticosteroid therapy

⚙️ How does the exam work?

• Quick, painless test (10 to 15 minutes)
• Performed while lying down, fully clothed
• No injection, no preparation required
• The DEXA scanner measures bone density in the lumbar spine, femur, and sometimes the wrist
• Results are expressed as T-score and Z-score, providing clear medical interpretation

✅ Advantages of DEXA Bone Densitometry

• Gold-standard method for diagnosing osteoporosis
• Very low radiation dose
• Ideal for monitoring and adjusting preventive or curative treatment
• Rapid access in private clinic settings
