3. Dexa Scan
DEXA (dual x-ray absorptiometry) scans measure
bone density (thickness and strength of bones) by
passing a high and low energy x-ray beam (a form of
ionizing radiation) through the body, usually in the hip
and the spine
Medical experts consider DEXA scans to be the most
useful, easy, and inexpensive test for helping to
diagnose osteoporosis . The test is quick and
painless.

recommended to
take the Dexa scan.
People above 50 years of
age Cushing’s disease

5. How does a DEXA
scan work
You will be asked to lie on a special DEXA x-ray table.
The technologist will help position you correctly and
use positioning devices such as foam blocks to help
hold the desired position.
As the arm of the DEXA machine passes over the
body, IT uses two different X-ray beams. The beams
use very little radiation to keep the test safer and
help to distinguish bone from other tissues.
The scanner translates the bone density
measurement data into pictures and graphs. Bone is
most easily seen in white, while the fat and muscle
tissue look like shadows in the background on the
technologist’s computer monitor.
These results are then reviewed and interpreted by
a radiologist or other physician trained in DEXA
interpretation
Your healthcare provider is sent a copy of the
written report to discuss with you and consider
what treatment is most appropriate.

6. You should lie down on a table attached to the imaging arm. Then the imaging
arm moves slowly over the body part that is being examined. During this, a beam
of low dosage energy will be passed into your body to capture the images of the
bones. The scan will provide the details of the density of your bone.
Usually, it will take about 20 minutes to complete the entire procedure.

7. DEXA scan results
For post-menopausal women and men age 50 and over, the result of DXA is
based on T-scores: A T-score equal to or above -1.0 is considered normal bone
density. A T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 is considered low bone density,
sometimes referred to as osteopenia. A T-score -2.5 or below is considered
osteoporosis.
