Densitometry

Service Description

Densitometry is a technique that measures the density of a material or the amount of minerals in a bone. It can be used in medicine, neuroscience, and molecular biology. A bone densitometry scan, also known as a DEXA scan, measures bone strength and thickness. It's used to diagnose osteoporosis and to monitor the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatments. A bone densitometry scan is usually performed on the lower spine, hip, lower arm, wrist, fingers, and heel.
