Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the preferred technique for measuring bone mineral density (BMD). DXA has also been called dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, or DEXA. DXA is relatively easy to perform and the amount of radiation exposure is low.
DEXA currently is the easiest, most standardized form of bone density testing, so that's what we use, says Mary Rhee, MD, MS, an endocrinologist and assistant professor of medicine at Emory University in Atlanta. The DEXA scanner uses beams of very low-energy radiation to determine the density of the bone. The amount of radiation is tiny: about one-tenth of a chest X-ray. The test is painless, and considered completely safe.
