Book your DEXA 1 Part Scan at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an advanced diagnostic centre for Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Pathology services. This test is used to measure bone mineral density at one area of the body to help determine the strength of the bone and risk of fracture. We employ advanced DEXA technology and adhere to appropriate imaging guidelines, which are essential for accurate evaluation and treatment planning.

About DEXA 1 Part

The DEXA 1 Part Scan is a type of scan (radiography) that uses a low dose of X-rays to assess bone mineral density in a given area of the body. According to physicians, it is done on the hip, spine, or forearm. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy uses advanced DEXA technology for accurately measuring bone density to evaluate bone health.

What is a DEXA 1 Part Scan?

A DEXA 1 Part Scan is a special X-ray technique that measures the amount of mineral in a chosen bone. Results are compared with established bone density reference values. This scan allows a doctor to assess bone strength and determine if a person has lower-than-normal bone density or a higher risk of fragile bones.

Common Reasons for DEXA 1 Part

• Screening for low bone density
• Suspected osteoporosis
• Assessment of fracture risk
• Monitoring bone health
• Follow-up of osteoporosis treatment
• Evaluation of age-related bone loss
• Assessment of patients with risk factors for bone loss

Conditions Evaluated

Osteoporosis

Helps identify significantly reduced bone mineral density associated with osteoporosis.

Osteopenia

Can detect moderately reduced bone density that may indicate increased future risk of osteoporosis.

Bone Loss

Helps monitor changes in bone mineral density over time.

Fracture Risk

Provides information that doctors can use when assessing the risk of fragility fractures.

Who Should Consider This Scan?

Your doctor may recommend a DEXA 1 Part Scan if you:

• Have risk factors for osteoporosis
• Have a history of certain fractures
• Need monitoring of bone density
• Are undergoing osteoporosis treatment
• Have conditions or medications associated with bone loss
• Require assessment of a specific bone site
