DXA Scan

Bone Density
A DXA bone density scan is an examination that uses an enhanced form of X-ray technology to measure bone mineral density most commonly in the lower spine and hips. It is the most accurate method available for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and is also considered an accurate estimator of fracture risk.

Body Composition
In addition to evaluating bone mineral density, the whole-body scan can also be used to measure total body composition and fat content with a high degree of accuracy. Receive a detailed snapshot of your body composition, including how your body weight breaks down into fat, bone and lean tissue.
