DEXA (Bone Density) Scan

DEXA (Bone Density) Scans

Queen’s Imaging offers bone densitometry scans, also called Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry or DEXA Scans. DEXA uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body, usually the lower spine and hips, to measure bone loss.

This imaging procedure is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis and to assess an individual’s risk for developing fractures.
