Bone Densitometry - A type of x-ray which is used to measure the calcium content of the bone. It is a simple, quick, and non-invasive medical test that involves exposing some parts of the body to a very small amount of ionization radiation.


Bone Mineral Density (BMD) scanning, also called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) or bone densitometry, is an enhanced form of x-ray technology that is used to measure bone density. At Modern Diagnostic & Research Centre we have the most advanced Narrow-Angle Fan Beam Technology-based DEXA which takes just 6 minutes in doing Whole Body BMD.


DEXA is today's established standard for measuring bone mineral density (BMD). DEXA is most often used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition that often affects women after menopause but may also be found in men. Osteoporosis involves a gradual loss of calcium, as well as structural changes, causing the bones to become thinner, more fragile, and more prone to fracture.


If you have a peripheral bone density test, you should follow up with your healthcare provider.
