DXA technology

DXA, or Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, is a medical imaging technology used to measure bone density and body composition. It works by using low-dose X-rays at two different energy levels to distinguish between bone and soft tissue. By analyzing how much X-ray energy is absorbed, DXA can provide precise information about bone health, helping to diagnose conditions like osteoporosis. Additionally, it can assess body fat and lean mass, aiding in health evaluations and weight management. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and considered safe, making it a reliable tool in both clinical and research settings.
