BONE DENSITOMETRY

BONE DENSITOMETRY

BONE DENSITOMETRY in Noida

Bone Densitometry (DEXA Scan) at Classic Diagnostics — gold-standard testing for osteoporosis and bone-mineral density, with expert reporting across Delhi and Noida.

What is a Bone Densitometry / DEXA scan?

A DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan measures bone mineral density (BMD) in the spine, hip, and forearm to detect osteoporosis and osteopenia. It is the most accurate, lowest-radiation test for diagnosing bone-loss disorders and is internationally recommended for assessing fracture risk.

Who needs a DEXA scan?

Women over 50 (or earlier if post-menopausal) · men over 65 · patients on long-term steroid therapy · anyone with a previous low-impact fracture · patients with rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, or family history of osteoporosis · pre/post fracture risk evaluation · monitoring response to osteoporosis treatment.

How the scan works & what to expect

DEXA is painless, takes 10–20 minutes, and requires you to lie still on a padded table while the scanner arm passes overhead. No injections, no fasting, no preparation beyond avoiding calcium supplements 24 hours prior. Reports include T-scores (compared to healthy young adults) and Z-scores (compared to age-matched peers), with FRAX fracture-risk assessment where indicated.

Frequently Asked Questions about BONE DENSITOMETRY

How long does a DEXA scan take?
The scan itself takes 10–20 minutes. Including registration and changing, plan for 30–45 minutes at the centre.
Is the DEXA scan painful?
No — it is completely painless. You simply lie on a padded table while the scanner moves over you. There are no injections.
How much radiation does a DEXA scan use?
Very low — about 1/10th the dose of a standard chest X-ray, and a tiny fraction of a CT scan.
How often should I have a DEXA scan?
Once every 1–2 years for high-risk patients or those on osteoporosis treatment. Your doctor will advise based on your risk factors and prior scan results.
