DEXA

DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) is the most widely used and most accurate way to measure Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Our state-of-the-art GE DEXA equipment uses two different X-ray beams to estimate bone density in your spine and hip. DEXA can measure as little as 2% of bone loss per year. The test is fast and uses very low doses of radiation, and allows you to keep track on your bone density as you age.
