DEXA

DEXA is a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry imaging technique widely used for non-invasive assessment of bone mineral content. This has a direct impact on the management and treatment on the condition of osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis, within our community, continues to debilitate those with the condition and presents a large problem for those with an increased risk of fracture. This imaging system allows for early detection of the condition and acts as a baseline study for future following preventative management and treatments.
