DEXA Scan

A DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan measures bone mineral density to assess your risk of osteoporosis and fractures. It is quick, painless and uses a very low dose of radiation.

What to expect

• Accurate bone-density measurement
• Osteoporosis and fracture-risk assessment
• Very low radiation dose
• Quick 10–15 minute scan
