DEXA Scan (Bone Density Test)
A DEXA scan, or Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, is a specialized imaging technique used to measure bone density and assess the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. It is a quick, painless, and low-radiation procedure that compares your bone strength against healthy standards based on your age, gender, and ethnicity. At Dr nisar’s Global Scans and Diagnostic Centre, we offer accurate and reliable DEXA scanning with certified equipment and trained technicians to support early diagnosis and preventive bone care.
This scan is especially important for post-menopausal women, elderly individuals, and patients with conditions or medications that impact bone health. By detecting even slight reductions in bone mass, a DEXA scan helps doctors plan lifestyle modifications or treatments to prevent fractures and long-term complications.
The scan typically focuses on key areas like the spine, hips, and wrists. Our facility ensures a comfortable procedure, detailed reporting, and helpful guidance on next steps based on your results.
