₹3000
Book your DEXA Scan – Three Sites (Lumbar Spine, Hip and Wrist) at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL and NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre providing not only advanced Radiology and Pathology services but also excellent healthcare facilities. We use an innovative, high-tech Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scanner to provide an accurate measurement of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the hip, wrist and spine that may help in the diagnosis of osteoporosis and osteopenia and determine fracture risk. Our expert Radiologists ensure accurate imaging, using very little radiation, and deliver a report promptly for your doctor to make a treatment plan.
About DEXA Scan – Three Sites (Lumbar Spine, Hip, and Wrist)
A DEXA Scan – 3 sites is the gold standard for measuring bone mineral density. The bone scan gives information about the strength of the bones at the Lumbar spine, hip, and wrist, the most vulnerable areas of bone that are commonly associated with osteoporosis and bone loss.
It is a non-invasive procedure that exposes the patient to very low doses of radiation and is quick and painless. Advanced DEXA technology offered by Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy provides highly accurate measurements for early diagnosis of diminished bone density and its monitoring over time.
What is a DEXA Scan – Three Sites?
DEXA Scan – Three Sites is a special diagnostic imaging procedure that measures bone mineral density (BMD) with low-dose X-rays. The scan is a comparison of your bone density to the values known as "normal bone density." This helps to see if your bones are normal, have early bone loss (osteopenia), or have gone into a bone loss state (osteoporosis). Three key skeletal sites are measured to give a full picture of bone health and enable the physician to accurately calculate fracture risk.
Common Reasons for a DEXA Scan – Three Sites
- Screening for osteoporosis
- Evaluation of osteopenia
- Assessment of fracture risk
- Monitoring osteoporosis treatment
- Post-menopausal bone health evaluation
- Long-term steroid therapy assessment
- Family history of osteoporosis
- Age-related bone density evaluation
- History of recurrent fractures
Conditions Evaluated
Osteoporosis
Detects significant loss of bone density and helps assess the risk of fractures.
Osteopenia
Identifies early stages of bone loss before osteoporosis develops.
Fragility Fracture Risk
Evaluates bone strength to determine the likelihood of fractures after minor injuries.
Age-Related Bone Loss
Assesses natural reduction in bone density associated with ageing.
Secondary Osteoporosis
Helps evaluate bone loss caused by hormonal disorders, chronic illnesses, or certain medications.
Treatment Monitoring
Tracks improvements or progression in bone density during osteoporosis treatment.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend a DEXA Scan – Three Sites if you:
- Are a woman after menopause
- Are over 65 years of age
- Have a family history of osteoporosis
- Have experienced a low-impact fracture
- Have prolonged steroid use
- Have calcium or vitamin D deficiency
- Have chronic medical conditions affecting bone health
- Need monitoring of osteoporosis treatment

Test information: Fasting NOT needed.
Reporting: Within 30 minutes*
- No special preparation is usually required for a DEXA Scan – Three Sites (Lumbar Spine, Hip, and Wrist).
- Avoid taking calcium supplements for at least 24 hours before the examination unless your doctor advises otherwise.
- Wear comfortable clothing without metal buttons, zippers, hooks, belts, or metallic accessories, as these may interfere with image quality.
- Remove any jewellery, watches, belts, coins, keys, or other metal objects before the scan.
- Inform the radiology staff if you are pregnant or may be pregnant, as the examination uses a very low dose of X-rays.
- Inform your doctor or radiology technician if you have recently undergone a CT scan with contrast, barium study, nuclear medicine scan, or orthopedic surgery involving the spine, hip, or wrist, as this may affect the timing or interpretation of the scan.
- Carry previous DEXA scan reports, X-rays, CT scans, MRI reports, or other relevant medical records, if available, for comparison and accurate evaluation.
- Follow the radiology technician's instructions regarding proper positioning of the lumbar spine, hip, and wrist to obtain precise Bone Mineral Density (BMD) measurements.
- Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration and examination preparation.
