Bone Density Testing with DEXA
Bone Densitometry (dual-energy-x-ray-absorptiometry or DEXA) is considered to be "The Gold Standard" diagnosing osteoporosis or bone loss. Osteoporosis is a condition that more often affects women after menopause but may also be found in men. Bones become thin and brittle, which makes them susceptible to fractures. A DEXA scan can be used to assess a patient’s risk for developing fractures and determine if treatment is needed.
