What is a DEXA SCAN LUMBOSACRAL SPINE Test in Bangalore ?

A DEXA scan of the lumbosacral spine measures bone mineral density in the lower spine. It tells how much mineral (mainly calcium) is packed into the bone. Strong bones have higher density and resist breaking. Low bone density helps diagnose osteoporosis and osteopenia. Doctors use it to estimate fracture risk and to monitor response to bone-strengthening treatments. It is also used when people have back pain, lost height, broken bones, or long-term steroid use. Results guide decisions about medications, lifestyle changes, and follow-up testing to protect bone health.

Why Take a DEXA SCAN LUMBOSACRAL SPINE Test in Bangalore ?

DEXA SCAN LUMBOSACRAL SPINE is part of bone density testing used to screen or monitor bone health. Doctors may order it for people with back pain, unexplained height loss, prior fractures, or long-term steroid use. It helps diagnose osteoporosis or osteopenia and tracks treatment response. Low results can come from aging, menopause, poor nutrition, inactivity, medications, or medical conditions; family history raises the need for earlier testing.

What is a DEXA scan for the lumbar spine in Bangalore?plus

A DEXA scan of the lumbar spine is a low‑radiation X‑ray test that measures bone mineral density in the lower back. It helps diagnose osteoporosis or osteopenia, estimates fracture risk using T and Z scores, and monitors response to treatment. The scan is quick, noninvasive, and commonly recommended for older adults or people with risk factors for bone loss.

What are the 3 sites for a DEXA scan in Bangalore?plus

A DEXA scan typically measures bone density at three key sites: the lumbar spine (L1–L4), the hip (total hip and/or femoral neck), and the forearm (distal radius/one‑third radius). These sites reflect common fracture locations and provide standardized values for diagnosing osteoporosis and monitoring treatment response. Scans are quick, noninvasive, and interpreted using T‑scores.

Can a DEXA scan show back problems in Bangalore?plus

A DEXA scan measures bone mineral density and can detect osteoporosis and vertebral compression fractures or deformities, especially with lateral vertebral assessment. It cannot evaluate discs, nerves, muscles, or most causes of typical back pain. If DEXA suggests bone loss or fracture, or if symptoms persist, further imaging (X‑ray, CT or MRI) and clinical assessment are needed to identify other spinal problems.

What is a normal lumbar spine DEXA in Bangalore?plus

A normal lumbar spine DEXA is when the composite T-score for L1–L4 is −1.0 or higher. T-scores between −1.0 and −2.5 indicate low bone mass (osteopenia), and −2.5 or below indicates osteoporosis. For premenopausal women, men under 50 and children, Z-scores are used; a Z-score ≤ −2.0 is considered below the expected range for age.

Why would a doctor recommend a DEXA scan in Bangalore?plus

A doctor may recommend a DEXA scan to measure bone mineral density and diagnose osteoporosis or osteopenia, estimate fracture risk, and establish a baseline before or during treatments (such as long-term steroids or osteoporosis medications). It’s also used to monitor treatment response, evaluate unexplained low‑trauma fractures, and sometimes assess body composition (lean vs. fat mass) for clinical management.

How much does a DEXA scan cost in India in Bangalore?plus

In India, a DEXA (bone mineral density) scan typically costs between ₹800 and ₹4,000, with metropolitan private diagnostic centers charging about ₹1,200–₹4,000 and smaller clinics or government hospitals offering lower rates (often ₹800–₹1,500). Prices vary by city, facility, body sites scanned, and whether reporting/consultation is included — confirm exact fees when booking.
