DXA for pediatrics

DXA, or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, is a safe and quick imaging test used to measure bone density in children. It helps doctors assess how strong a child's bones are and detect conditions like osteoporosis or other bone disorders early. The test uses a small amount of low-dose X-rays to accurately evaluate bone mineral content, providing valuable information to guide treatment and ensure healthy bone development during growth. It’s a reliable, non-invasive tool specifically tailored for pediatric use.
