DEXA Scan (Bone Densitometry)

Why Choose DEXA at VJ Scans & Labs?

Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is the gold standard for measuring bone mineral density and diagnosing osteoporosis. At our Chennai facility, DEXA scanning is a quick, painless, and low-dose X-ray procedure that helps detect bone loss early, before fractures occur. DEXA is particularly important for postmenopausal women, older adults, and individuals with risk factors for osteoporosis. The scan measures bone density at the hip and spine, providing a T-score that helps your doctor assess fracture risk and determine if treatment is needed.
