What is a Dexa Scan OR BMD Test - One Site Test in Visit Clinic?
A DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) or BMD test measures bone mineral density at a specific site. Bone density shows how strong your bones are. Strong bones resist breaks and support daily activity. Low bone density can indicate osteopenia or osteoporosis, which raise fracture risk. Doctors use the result to estimate fracture risk, guide treatment decisions, and monitor response to bone-strengthening therapy. It is a quick, painless scan that uses very low radiation. Results are often compared to a young-adult reference (T-score) and to age-matched peers (Z-score). Your doctor combines the scan with your medical history, risk factors, and sometimes blood tests to decide prevention or treatment steps.
