What is DEXA BMD?
DEXA BMD is a highly precise imaging technique that measures bone density and strength by using two low-dose X-ray beams. It is considered the gold standard for evaluating bone health and identifying the risk of fractures.
Why Choose DEXA BMD?
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple and quick test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It is commonly used to:
- Early Detection of Bone Loss: Helps diagnose osteoporosis and osteopenia before fractures occur.
- Fracture Risk Assessment: Identifies individuals at a higher risk of fractures.
- Treatment Monitoring: Tracks the effectiveness of medications and therapies for bone-related conditions.
- Safe and Painless Procedure: Minimal radiation exposure and no discomfort during the scan.
Who Should Get a DEXA BMD Scan?
You may benefit from a DEXA BMD scan if you:
- Are a postmenopausal woman or a man aged 50 or older.
- Have a family history of osteoporosis or fractures.
- Experience unexplained height loss or back pain.
- Are undergoing long-term steroid therapy.
- Have conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or other disorders that affect bone health.
- Want to monitor your bone density as part of routine health care.
How Does the Procedure Work?
- The scan is quick and straightforward, typically taking 10-20 minutes.
- You will lie on a comfortable table while the scanner moves over specific areas like the spine, hip, or forearm.
- The results provide a T-score, which compares your bone density to that of a healthy young adult, and a Z-score, which compares it to others in your age group.
