DEXA Bone Densitometry
— Bone Density Scan — Sector 104, Noida
DEXA Bone Densitometry in Noida.
DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) measures bone mineral density to screen for osteoporosis and assess fracture risk — a quick, low-dose scan usually of the spine and hip.
— What is a DEXA scan?
Measuring bone strength, precisely.
DEXA uses a very low dose of X-rays to measure how much calcium and mineral is packed into a segment of bone — most commonly the spine, hip and sometimes forearm. The result, your T-score, tells your doctor whether your bone density is normal, low (osteopenia) or indicates osteoporosis.
It’s the gold-standard test for diagnosing osteoporosis, monitoring bone health over time, and assessing fracture risk — especially important after menopause, with long-term steroid use, or as part of routine screening in older adults.
- Very low radiation dose — far lower than a standard X-ray.
- Quick & painless — no injections, no confinement, just lying still.
- Specialist-reviewed report — T-score and Z-score explained, not just numbers.
DEXA is commonly ordered for
- Post-menopausal women
- Osteoporosis screening & diagnosis
- Monitoring bone density over time
- Long-term steroid use
- Fracture risk assessment in older adults
