What is a Dexa Scan OR BMD Test - Whole Body Test in Bangalore ?

A DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) whole-body scan measures bone mineral density (BMD). BMD shows how strong and dense your bones are. Strong bones resist fractures and support normal movement. The test helps detect osteopenia and osteoporosis and estimates fracture risk. Doctors use whole-body DEXA to screen at-risk people, confirm diagnoses, and monitor response to treatments. Whole-body scans can also estimate body composition, such as fat and lean mass. Results guide decisions about medicines, calcium and vitamin D, exercise plans, and follow-up testing to protect bone health.

Why Take a Dexa Scan OR BMD Test - Whole Body Test in Bangalore ?

Dexa Scan OR BMD Test - Whole Body is included in bone health or osteoporosis screening panels. Doctors may order it for older adults, people with unexplained fractures, low body weight, or risk factors like hormonal problems or long-term steroid use. It helps diagnose osteopenia and osteoporosis and track treatment response. Low scores can come from aging, poor diet, inactivity, certain illnesses, or some medications, and a family history of fractures makes testing more important.

Frequently asked questions

Does a DEXA scan show the whole body in Bangalore?plus

A DEXA (DXA) scan can be performed as a whole-body study to measure total bone mineral content and body composition (fat and lean mass distribution). However, routine clinical use often targets specific sites (lumbar spine, hip, forearm) for osteoporosis diagnosis. Whole-body DXA is useful for body composition but has limitations — lower spatial detail than CT/MRI and results can be affected by implants, positioning, or hydration.

What is the cost of DEXA scan in India in Bangalore?plus

DEXA scan costs in India typically range from about Rs 700 to Rs 3,500 (roughly USD 9–45) per scan. Prices vary by city, facility, machine type and whether it’s a single-site or whole‑body study. Government and large diagnostic chains are usually cheaper; private hospitals and specialist centres charge more. Confirm whether consultation, reports or repeat scans are included.

Can you have a DEXA scan when pregnant in Bangalore?plus

No — DEXA uses low‑dose X‑rays and is generally avoided in pregnancy because of potential fetal radiation exposure. It’s usually postponed until after delivery unless absolutely essential; if considered, clinicians weigh risks and benefits, obtain informed consent, and minimize exposure (shielding). Discuss timing and alternatives with your obstetrician or specialist.

Is a DEXA body scan safe in Bangalore?plus

Yes—DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) is generally safe. It uses very low-dose X-rays, delivering radiation similar to a day or two of natural background exposure. Risks are minimal for most people, but it’s avoided in pregnancy unless essential. Accuracy can be affected by metal implants or severe obesity. Discuss concerns with your clinician to confirm appropriateness and timing.

What are the disadvantages of a DEXA scan in Bangalore?plus

A DEXA scan exposes patients to a small amount of ionising radiation and isn’t recommended during pregnancy. Results can be less accurate in very obese patients or those with metal implants, spinal deformities, or severe arthritis, which can falsely alter bone density readings. It measures bone mineral density only, not bone quality, and availability, cost, and inter‑machine variability can limit comparability.

Can a DEXA scan tell body fat percentage in Bangalore?plus

Yes. A DEXA scan measures bone mineral, lean tissue, and fat to provide precise whole‑body and regional body‑fat percentages. It’s widely used clinically and in research because of its high accuracy and low radiation. Results can vary with hydration, machine calibration, and extremes of body size, so use consistent testing conditions and interpret results in clinical context.
