How Is A DEXA Scan Performed?

A Dexa Scan uses low dose X-Rays to see how dense (or strong) your bones are. A DEXA scan is a non-invasive, high-precision diagnostic imaging procedure that helps measure your bone mineral density. During the test, you will need to lie down on your back and then our skilled technologist will position you correctly. We use the latest DEXA scanner that uses two beams of x-ray to precisely measure the mineral density of your bones.

Once the procedure is complete, the DEXA scanner will graphically present the measurements for easy & quick diagnosis. The x-ray beams use safe amounts of radiation and therefore, the test does not have any potential side effects. To schedule a BMD test near me in Delhi, call us at 011-47252025 today.
