iDXA

iDXA, or individuals Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, is a medical imaging technique used to measure bone mineral density and body composition, including fat and lean tissue. It works by passing two different X-ray beams through the body. By analyzing how much of each beam is absorbed by bones and tissues, iDXA provides detailed information about bone health and body fat distribution. It is commonly used in assessing osteoporosis risk and evaluating body composition in various health conditions, making it a valuable tool in both clinical settings and research.
