DEXA / Bone Densitometry

Osteoporosis Screening

A relatively quick and painless procedure, a DEXA scan evaluates bone density.  Our machine provides the latest technology in evaluating osteoporosis, or loss of bone density.  A bone density study can also provide an evaluation of early bone loss, known as osteopenia.  Bone loss can increase risk for fracture, so it is important to obtain your screening exam.
