Osteoporosis and Bone Dexa

Bone DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) measure bone mineral density (BMD) at critical sites like the spine and hip, which are prone to fractures due to osteoporosis. By providing accurate bone density measurements, DEXA scans can detect osteoporosis and fracture risk earlier than traditional X-rays. The results, typically given as T-scores, help healthcare providers evaluate fracture risk and customize treatment plans. This early detection and personalized approach are key to effectively preventing fractures and managing osteoporosis.
