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.

How does a 
DEXsAcan 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.
How is the procedure 
performed
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.
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.
