Dexa Scan Test in Delhi

DEXA scan is a full-body x-ray scanning test to measure and analyse the body composition of an individual. It tests the bone mineral density (BMD) by passing two X-ray beams over the body. It is, therefore, known as the Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Scan. The test typically diagnoses osteoporosis, a disease which leads to a broken bone situation. It compares your bone density to the standard bone density according to your age, gender, and ethnicity. The results are provided in the form of T scores. It is a short test usually lasting for around 5 minutes.
