IDC is offering same-day DEXA scan services with reports returned from our radiologists within the same day.
The DEXA scan is a non-invasive and painless test that only takes about 15 -20 minutes to complete. During the scan, you will be asked to lie down while the scanner takes images of your spine, hip, or forearm.
A DEXA scan is a test that assesses the density of your bones to determine if you are at risk for osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and makes them more prone to fractures. The scan can also identify other bone conditions, including osteopenia (low bone density), brittle bone disease, and osteomalacia (softening of the bones).
You may need a DEXA scan if you have (or have had) any of the following:
Osteoporosis, or a family history of Osteoporosis.
A DEXA scan measures the density of your bones and can help find out if you are at a higher risk of osteoporosis. The scan can also detect other potential bone disorders and conditions, such as osteopenia, brittle bone disease, and osteomalacia. It is helpful tells about fat muscle distribution in your body normally called as Whole-Body Composition.
The scan usually takes 10 to 20 minutes. You’ll be able to go home after you have had it done.
The DEXA scan is unlike an MRI scan. The scan arm will move slowly over your body and is very quiet.
The images will be reviewed and a report will be given to you on the same day. You can share report or consult with your healthcare specialist for diagnosis or further treatment.
