A DEXA scan is a special type of X-ray that measures bone mineral density (BMD). DEXA stands for dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.This type of scan is also often known as DXA, or dual X-ray absorptiometry.It's also sometimes referred to as a bone density scan or a bone densitometry scan. DEXA scans are often used to diagnose osteoporosis (when the bones become weak and fragile, and are more likely to break). DEXA scan is a special type of X-ray that measures bone mineral density (BMD). DEXA stands for dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Testing your bone density -- how strong your bones are -- is the only way to know for sure if you have osteoporosis. One common test doctors use is called dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA). DXA scanning focuses on two main areas -- the hip and the spine. If you canât test those, you can get a DXA scan on your forearm. These areas can give your doctor a good idea of whether youâre likely to get fractures in other bones in your body. The scan generally takes 10 to 20 minutes.
