Time to decide if you are a superhero or a princess because for this test you will get to change in to one of our fun gowns. After you have on your new uniform you will lay on a table on your back. A big arm will move over your body (it doesn't touch you though) to scan and see if you are really a superhero or not. Make sure to hold still you don't want to wiggle and lose your super powers.

A DEXA scan, or Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry scan, is a non-invasive test that measures bone density. This bone density scan is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as osteoporosis and assessing overall bone health. It's a simple, painless procedure that provides important information about your child's bone health.
At SDMI, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of our young patients. Our staff is trained to work with children, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed throughout their visit. Before the DEXA scan begins, your child will have the chance to change into one of our fun, themed gowns. Whether they choose to be a superhero or a princess, this gown will help them feel more at ease during the test.
Once dressed in their special gown, your child will lie down on a comfortable table. A large scanning arm will then move over their body, but it won't touch them. This arm uses X-rays to capture detailed images of their bones. It's essential for your child to hold still during the scan to ensure accurate results.
The results from your child’s DEXA scan will provide valuable insights into their bone health. Our specialized pediatric imaging team in Las Vegas will analyze the images and provide a detailed report. You’ll be able to discuss the results with your child's doctor to understand their bone density and any necessary steps to ensure their bone health.
