Dual X-Ray Absorpitrometry (Dexascan)

A DEXA scan (Dual X-ray Absorptiometry) determines the bone mineral density (BMD) of a patient's spine or extremities. This is performed to detect the early stage of/or the existence of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that decreases bone density to the point where bones can fracture easily and abnormally. DEXA Scans (or DXA scans) are also utilized to measure the total body composition and fat content of a patient with a high degree of accuracy.

No. You will be lying comfortably on your back and a small sensor will pass over your lower spine and left hip.

How often should I have this done? Every year or two years?
