What is a DEXA scan?
A DEXA scan (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), also known as bone mineral densitometry, is a specialised, low-dose X-ray that measures bone mineral density (BMD).
The scan helps your doctor assess your bone strength, identify bone loss and understand your risk of fractures. It is an important tool in detecting and monitoring conditions such as osteoporosis and osteopenia, allowing your doctor to make informed decisions about your ongoing bone health.
Why might I need a bone density scan?
Your doctor may refer you for a DEXA scan if you have:
A medical condition or take medication that may contribute to bone loss.
Experienced a fracture following a minor fall or injury.
Signs of weakened bones or changes in the height of the vertebrae in your spine.
Risk factors for osteoporosis or a need to monitor your bone density over time.
Osteoporosis is a common condition, particularly as we age, that causes bones to become weaker and more likely to break. It often has no noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs.
A DEXA scan can help identify bone loss early, giving your doctor valuable information to assess your fracture risk and plan appropriate treatment or preventative measures.
