Schedule your DEXA Spine Scan at Molecular Diagnostics and therapy that is, an NABL- NABH both accredited diagnostics center. DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is an imaging test used to measure bone mineral density and assess bone health. Our center offers accurate results to support treatment planning and early detection of bone loss under the supervision of highly trained professionals. 

About DEXA Spine

DEXA Spine is a specialized bone mineral density scan that primarily examines the lumbar spine. It measures bone mineral density and can help identify low bone density associated with osteopenia or osteoporosis. In this scan x-ray radiation dose is very low, and it is a quick and non-invasive scan. Evaluation of bone density of the spine is useful for individuals with a history of fractures associated with low bone strength, and patients undergoing treatment for low bone density.

What is a DEXA Spine Scan?

A DEXA Spine Scan uses two different levels of low-dose X-ray energy to measure the mineral content and density of the bones in the spine. During the examination, you lie comfortably on the scanning table while the DEXA system captures images and measurements of the selected spinal region. The results are generally reported using T-scores and Z-scores, which help doctors assess bone density in relation to established reference values. Your doctor can use these findings along with your medical history and other risk factors to evaluate bone health.

Common Reasons for DEXA Spine

• Screening for reduced bone mineral density
• Evaluation of osteoporosis and osteopenia
• Assessing the risk of bone fractures
• Monitoring bone density during osteoporosis treatment
• Evaluating bone health after menopause
• Assessing patients with risk factors for bone loss
• Establishing a baseline bone density measurement
• Monitoring changes in bone density over time

Conditions Evaluated

Osteoporosis

DEXA Spine helps identify significantly reduced bone mineral density associated with osteoporosis, a condition that can increase the risk of fractures.

Osteopenia

The scan can detect bone density that is lower than normal but does not meet the diagnostic threshold for osteoporosis, allowing appropriate monitoring and preventive management.

Reduced Bone Mineral Density

DEXA measurements provide an objective assessment of bone density and can help doctors identify individuals who may require further evaluation or management.

Fracture Risk

Low bone density can contribute to increased fracture risk. DEXA results can assist doctors in evaluating bone strength alongside other clinical risk factors.

Monitoring Osteoporosis Treatment

Patients receiving treatment for osteoporosis or other bone-loss conditions may undergo repeat DEXA scans to monitor changes in bone density.

Who Should Consider This Scan?

Your doctor may recommend a DEXA Spine Scan if you:

• Have risk factors for osteoporosis or bone loss
• Are postmenopausal
• Have experienced a fracture associated with low bone strength
• Have a family history of osteoporosis
• Have been advised to monitor bone mineral density
• Are undergoing treatment for osteoporosis
• Have medical conditions or medication exposure that may affect bone health
