dexascan

A DEXA scan, also known as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, is a diagnostic test that measures bone density and body composition. It uses a small amount of low-dose X-ray radiation to assess how strong your bones are, helping to diagnose conditions like osteoporosis. Additionally, it can analyze fat and muscle distribution, providing insights into overall body composition and health. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and typically requires minimal preparation. Results help healthcare providers evaluate fracture risk and develop appropriate treatment or lifestyle plans to maintain or improve bone and overall health.
