Bone Density Scanner

Bone density scanning is an advanced form of radiology that is used to measure bone loss. DEXA is the most current standard for measuring bone mineral density (BMD).
More broadly speaking, information from DXA exams can prove valuable in conditions, such as: Obesity, Anorexia nervosa, Cystic fibrosis, Wasting syndrome (caused by HIVAIDS) and Chronic renal failure. Today’s body composition measurement tools can even make athletes make decisions on the training regimens they use to achieve the best performance.
In all these cases, body composition scans measurement contributes to a thorough patient evaluation and helps physicians monitor the effects of therapy, diet or exercise.
