What is a Dexa Scan?

Dexa Scan is usually done to check the strength of one’s bones. It is referred to in cases where a doctor suspects that the bones are getting weaker. It may be conducted to assess the onset of osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Specifically, the test is recommended in the following cases:

  • All women and men 65 years or older
  • Postmenopausal women and men 50 – 64 with risk factors for fracture including:
    • Fragility fracture after age 40
    • Vertebral fracture or low bone mass identified on x-ray
    • Parental hip fracture
    • High-risk medication use: prolonged glucocorticoid use
    • Rheumatoid arthritis
    • Other disorders that may contribute to bone loss
  • Younger men or women (under 50) with a disease or condition associated with low bone mass or bone loss:
    • Fragility fractures
    • High-risk medication use (e.g. women taking cancer avoidance medicines post their chemotherapy.)
    • Rheumatoid arthritis
    • Other chronic inflammatory conditions
    • Cushing’s disease
    • Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism
    • Primary hyperparathyroidism

These days reduction in bone density is also due to our lifestyles. If you do not exercise regularly or lead a largely sedentary lifestyle, your chances of getting weak bones are higher. Similarly, if you do not spend enough time outdoors in the sun, your body will not get enough vitamin D which leads to the weakening of bones due to under absorption of calcium in the body.

There is a ray of hope for people with low bone density. If you start regular exercise and take vitamin D and calcium supplements (of course under the supervision of your doctor), your bones may start gaining some strength that they lost.

What is the Procedure of the Dexa Scan?

Dexa Scan is like an x-ray scan. You will be asked to lie down on a table that will have the scanner attached to it. The body part under an investigation like spine, hip or leg will be scanned.

Before the scan, the technician will ask you to take off any metal object that you may be wearing. If you have any metal rod in your body, please do let the doctor or technician know about it.

The test will take around 10-15 minutes and you do not need special preparation for it.

What Do the Dexa Scan Results Mean?

The results of the bone density test compare the bone density of the tested part with the expected bone density of the average person with the same gender, age and ethnicity.

This will help your doctor assess the strength of your bones. Based on the results of the Dexa scan, your condition may be classified at normal, osteopenia or osteoporosis.

What are the Ways to Prevent Low Bone Density?

However, you cannot completely prevent low bone density. The above-mentioned ways will only help to prevent it partially. The vitamin D will only help to strengthen your bones.
