Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) standards

Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is a precise imaging technique used to measure bone mineral density and body composition, such as fat and muscle. DEXA standards ensure consistent and accurate results across different machines and clinics by establishing specific calibration procedures, quality control measures, and reporting guidelines. These standards help healthcare providers reliably track bone health, diagnose osteoporosis, and assess body composition, ensuring that measurements are precise, reproducible, and comparable over time and across different settings.
