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.
