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

डीईएक्सए 1 पार्ट स्कैन से पहले खाली पेट रहना आवश्यक नहीं होता, जब तक डॉक्टर द्वारा अन्यथा न कहा गया हो।
जांच के लिए आरामदायक और ढीले कपड़े पहनकर आएं।
जांच वाले स्थान के आसपास धातु वाली वस्तुएं, जैसे बेल्ट, आभूषण या अन्य धातु के सामान पहनने से बचें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भवती होने की संभावना है, तो रेडियोलॉजी टीम को पहले बताएं।
यदि हाल ही में हड्डियों से संबंधित कोई जांच या चिकित्सा प्रक्रिया हुई है, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
उपलब्ध होने पर पिछली हड्डियों की घनत्व जांच की रिपोर्ट या संबंधित चिकित्सकीय अभिलेख साथ लेकर आएं।
डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी टीम द्वारा दिए गए किसी भी अतिरिक्त तैयारी संबंधी निर्देश का पालन करें।
The patient is registered, and the examination details are verified by the radiology team.
The patient is positioned comfortably on the DEXA examination table according to the selected bone site.
The DEXA system uses a very low dose of X-rays to measure bone mineral density at the specified area.
The scanner passes over the examination region and records the required measurements.
The collected data is processed using specialized DEXA software to determine bone mineral density.
The results may be compared with established reference values to support assessment of bone health and fracture risk.
Relevant medical history and previous bone density results may be considered during interpretation.
Appropriate imaging quality-control and radiation-safety protocols are followed throughout the examination.
The scan is generally painless, non-invasive, and completed within a short period.
The findings are reviewed by qualified radiology professionals before reporting.
