BMD (Bone Mineral Densitometry) also known as DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) is a test used to measure bone mineral density; it is commonly used to screen osteoporosis or metabolic diseases affecting the skeleton and screen for fracture risk available at our Dubai Radiology Center.
How does it work?
It is just like having an x-ray but with lesser radiation. You will then be asked to lie down and be positioned accordingly. Once scanning starts, low dose of X-radiation is produced and once finished, all images will be analyze and be process to achieve the result.
