Highlights

Similar to an X-ray, a Bone Densitometry scan quickly and accurately measures the density of bone. At Dr. Gaikwad Speciality Diagnostics, our DEXA Bone Densitometry scanner helps measure bone density in the most accurate, safe and non-invasive method possible.

It uses very small doses of ionizing radiation to get pictures from the inside of the body. It is painless and requires no major preparation.

The Bone Densitometry test is crucial in detecting osteopenia and osteoporosis, diseases where the bone's mineral content and density reduce, increasing the risk of fractures.

Contra-indications: Pregnancy, as there is some exposure to ionizing radiation although it is minimal: less than 1/10th of that received during a standard chest X-ray
