Description
Dexa Scan is used to determine Bone Mineral Density, in order to diagnose Osteoporosis. The other common use of this technology is to assess body fat percentage. Dexa stands for Dual Energy Xray Absorptiometry. This is a unique examination where a very low dose Xray is passed through the entire body. The detector then measures reflections of the Xray and accurately measures the composition of the body.
