DXA scans

A DXA scan, or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, is a quick, non-invasive test that measures bone density and body composition. Using low-dose X-ray beams, it differentiates between bone and soft tissue, providing detailed information about bone strength, fracture risk, and body fat percentage. Often used to diagnose osteoporosis and assess overall health, the procedure is painless, requires minimal time, and involves lying still on a specialized table. Results help healthcare providers develop personalized plans for maintaining or improving bone health and managing related conditions.
